The Liberating Life of Jesus

Finding Freedom in Christ Between the Two Extremes of Law and License

By: John Van Gelderen

Narrated by: Michael Barnett

As a young Christian minister, John Van Gelderen held to the letter of the law, focusing on separation from the world. Then, the Lord showed him that much of his Christian life was works oriented instead of Spirit-filled. John needed to change his focus from the law to the person of Jesus.

Other Christians focus on an opposite goal: a lax version of Christianity, which seeks to avoid legalism but actually embraces its own ideas of freedom that can lead to fleshly living. This leads to license.

To live the Spirit-filled life, our goal cannot be law or license. It must be a person: Jesus. The Liberating Life of Jesus shows us that in Jesus, we are free - not controlled by legalism or led astray by license. This is true Christian liberty found in the liberating life of Jesus!

Well said!

This book is the most thorough explanation of living life in Christ. The break down and comparison between the law, liberty and life approaches is very helpful.

Love this book

So full of truth. I’ll never be the same. Highly recommend this book for Biblically sound theology.

Amazing

This is the book I have been looking for on this topic. A sound approach to the topic of Christian liberty and finding freedom from both liberty and license.

Freedom in Christ.

Great book. Very helpful. I recommend any of this author's books! Time well spent reading this!
