Gospel Spirituality: Thoughts & Resources
This past Sunday we dove into the amazing truth that the gospel is not just how we begin the Christian life but how we grow in the Christian life. Gospel Spirituality is very different from contemporary spirituality in that God defines Himself in scripture as Holy, all people as sinful, and Jesus as the savior for sinners.
Like I said Sunday it is impossible to get all the glories of a Gospel-Centered relationship with God out but we sure tried to hit the highlights. One of the things we said is that we have to seek to grow in our understanding and application of the Gospel. Remember we looked at this verse…
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly’ teaching admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs’ with thanksgiving in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:17.
From that verse we talked about reading about the gospel and singing the gospel. Now we try to do that every week in our Sunday Services and in our Community Groups, but what about personally?
There are many wonderful resources out there to help embrace the gospel on a daily basis. I offer you this list below of books and music that might be of use to you and your family to let the gospel dwell richly in you!
