Paul’s transformation from a Jesus-hating Pharisee to a passionate Christ-follower is nothing short of miraculous. But if you’re a follower of Christ, then your story is a miracle, too! And your testimony is powerful proof of the truth of the gospel! That’s our subject as Pastor J.D. continues our study of Galatians called, “Freedom in the In-Between.”

Receive Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart by Pastor J.D. Greear as our gift for your donation.

Phrases like “ask Jesus into your heart” or “give your life to Jesus” may be well intentioned, but they can often be unclear—offering false assurance to those who aren’t truly saved and causing unnecessary doubt for those who are.

Pastor J.D. explains that salvation is not a magic phrase or emotional moment. It’s a posture of trust in the promise of God, one that begins at a specific point in time and continues for the rest of our lives. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt or want to share the gospel more clearly, this book, available in print or digital form, is for you.

In Christian circles, we tend to throw the word “blessing” around a lot. And it’s true that every good gift is from God! But even non-believers enjoy the “common grace” of everyday blessings. There’s a big difference between good things happening to us, and God actively moving in a miraculous way.
