Book Cover & Preview Text
Most Christians think God saved them because He loved them and wanted to give them eternal life. That God’s amazing grace is his way of letting you off the hook for what you deserve. They believe that Jesus came to die for them so they would have forgiveness of sin and have eternal life. This is true, but God’s vision of why He saved you is much greater than that. The salvation experience is so much, much more. Before the beginning of time, God had a plan not just to save you from sin but also to make you perfect so you could be a part of fulfilling His bigger plan for the whole world. Yes, he died for you and took away your sin, but He also gave you His righteousness, He sanctified you. He made you Holy. He declared you justified. He did all this so you could be all that he designed you to be. The Christian way of life we are to live is all about Him, His wants, His purposes, His desires and His plans for you. You are important to Him; you are an important part of how he wants to change the world for Christ. He does not focus on your failures, misdeeds or sinful nature. He is aware of those things, but more importantly, He focuses on what He has made you, ‘perfect’ in His sight and what He wants to do through you. You need to focus on this also. This should be your goal, to see yourself as God sees you. See yourself as God has made you, a new perfect creation in Christ. Begin to see yourself as perfect in Christ and in Christ, you can do all things that he has created you to do.

About the Book
The truth contained in the Power of Perfect is information that gives you the power to change. Many of us have a poor self-image and see ourselves as being less worthy than we really are. We have carried those negative self-images over into our spiritual self-image. We have a negative picture of how we think God sees us. How do we change this negative view of ourselves into a positive spiritual self-image? To change, we must understand fully how God sees us. To see ourselves as God sees us, we must use the Word of God to reshape our self-image and create that new positive picture of ourselves. We can begin to live life as God intended. God did a perfect work in us. Knowing what that perfect work is and believing it will allow us to act on it… That is the Power of Perfect.
About the Author
I gave my life to Christ sitting alone in my living room on July 4, 1975, Independence Day. Since that time, I progressed to a Sunday morning teacher and later a singles ministry leader, and along the way I earned a degree in ministry. Through all my time of teaching, I realized I was always teaching new believers or spiritually undeveloped Christians. I kept going over the same concepts, and I am amazed at how many “older” Christians do not understand or realize what Jesus did for them on The Cross. I think it is my purpose in life to write what I have learned and pass it on to others. If what I have written helps one person to change his or her life to become an effective Christian, then it will be worth it.
