Why We Need Jesus

Book Cover & Preview Text
Christians have all kinds of names and labels: followers of the Way, believers, the Elect of God, the community of saints, the congregation of the Elect and no doubt some other names. However, they merely describe us, they do not identify us. Who are we like? Who do we identify with? Who are we seeking to be? It sounds like idle speculation of no importance, but that is where so many believers are not being served well. When we discover our identity in the Kingdom of Heaven, we discover we have a role, a part to play in God’s Plan of Salvation. Not only that, the role we discover we fulfill at first shocks us, but as we grow in faith and knowledge, we are humbled and honored at the same time. God, despite who we are as sinners, thinks enough of us to identify us this way and empower us to live up to the identity He grants us. Our identity as God’s royal, holy priesthood is not to be hidden but revealed through our lives of faith and service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

About the Book
‘Why We Need Jesus’ attempts to bridge the gap between Christians and unbelievers. The case is made for our common human condition. Having demonstrated what unites us in a common condition of spiritual neediness, Jesus Christ is presented as the answer to satisfy our neediness. Our spiritual neediness now satisfied in Christ, we discover a new identity giving meaning and purpose to our life. Scripture is explored to give guidance as to why and how we endure in our new identity.
