How can Christians grow? Hardly anyone questions that the Bible calls us to grow in our faith life. However, the explanation of how this is supposed to happen is often vague. Dane Ortlund directs believers' attention to Christ. He makes it clear that the path of sanctification is not about doing more or becoming better, but about diving deeper into the wonderful truths of the Gospel that have applied to us since we were united with Him. Ortlund draws on the wealth of insights from figures throughout church history. He encourages his readers to look to Jesus in the battle against sin, to rely on His grace, and to live out their invincible identity in Christ.
