God's power.how does it work within Christians? Can it truly bring people closer to their loving Father-truly help them grow and make them holy? Growth in the Christian life and victory over sin are impossible, states Neil Anderson-unless believers understand what Scripture declares: They really are new people, reborn in the Spirit, whose deepest desires are now directed toward God. When Christians grasp this truth, it unleashes God's power within them: * They understand that sin is what they sometimes do-not who they are * They intimately experience God as their loving, accepting Father, not as a heavenly scorekeeper * Joy and contentment replace discouragement and cynicism Based on material from God's Power at Work in You.
Neil Anderson was raised on a farm in Minnesota. He served his country for four years in the Navy. He worked four years as an aerospace engineer before being called into full time ministry.
