“Saved” is Not Home Free

About the Book

This book is designed to provide a clear, concise, readable description of what is necessary for a person to be a Christian (follower of Jesus Christ). It is targeted at two primary groups of people. The first group is people who consider themselves Christians and are interested in thinking and learning more about our Christian duty. The second group is those who have been turned off or turned away by perceived hypocrisy in the Christian Church. Jesus Christ, holy Son of God, was born, lived, died, and resurrected that we might know what God is really like, and to teach/show us what we need to do, in order that we might obtain salvation from our sins and death. We however, have an essential task - accept him as Lord and Savior, believe in him, and follow him. The rub comes in when we really understand what “believe in him” and “follow him” mean and imply. The purpose of the book is to clarify what “believe in him” and “follow him” mean and entail, as a wake-up call to Christians and potential Christians. Jesus did his part, and a wonderful part it was, but we have an important part to play too.
