Lord, Show Me My Salvation: Help See Myself as You

What if God sees you very differently from the way you see yourself?You may have known the Lord for many years. You may know something about Christianity but have never been quite sure what to make of it. Or you may be starting almost from scratch. Wherever you are, there is a question worth asking: How much do I really understand about salvation?You may already know that Jesus died for our sins. But what does that actually mean? Why did He have to die? What did His death accomplish? What has God done with everything in your life that you wish you could undo? And if you belong to Him, what does He see when He looks at you now?The answers may surprise you.Lord, Show Me My Salvation is an invitation to discover the extraordinary story of what God has done for us. It begins before you were born - indeed, before the world itself existed - and takes us from the heart of God to the Garden of Eden, from the Garden to the Cross, and from the Cross into eternity.Along the way, we shall discover the Seven Wonders of Salvation and begin to understand what words such as forgiveness, redemption, justification, reconciliation, new birth, sanctification and glorification actually mean. They aren't simply theological terms. Together they reveal something astonishing about what God has done, what He is doing now, and what He has promised still to do. This book belongs to no particular denomination or Christian tradition. Whether you are Anglican, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, part of another Christian tradition, or simply beginning to explore the Christian faith, the invitation is the same: come back to the Scriptures and discover for yourself the wonder of what Jesus Christ has done for you.You don't need a theological education to come on this journey. And if you've studied the Bible for years, don't be too sure that there won't be some surprises waiting for you as well. The invitation is the same: come back to the Scriptures, ask the questions, and look again. - Why should God care about me?- How could He love me if He knows everything about me?- What stands between God and me?- Why did Jesus have to die?- What does it actually mean to be saved?- And perhaps the most personal question of all: - Lord, how do You see me? Salvation is far greater than simply having your sins forgiven or going to heaven when you die. It reaches backwards beyond your birth and forwards beyond your death. And at its heart is a discovery that can transform the way you understand God, yourself and your whole relationship with Him.Whether this is all new to you, or wonderfully familiar, come and take another look. You may discover that your salvation is far greater than you ever imagined.Lord, show me Your salvation. Help me see myself as You see me.
