I trust that many of you out there who are listening to this podcast have had questions over the course of your life as to whether you're legitimately a believer.

And as to whether you are legitimately in the Lord Jesus Christ.

And usually that's because your life does not look the way you want it to.

So is Jesus only enough for the forgiveness of sins and being declared righteous?

Is he only enough for justification?

Or is there more to the Lord Jesus and what he is accomplished and is accomplishing in us?

The answer to that is, yes, there is more.

He is better than you had ever heard him to be.

He's better than you think he is.

and we'll be with God forever.

Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven,

how being in Christ changes everything that deals with this topic from Romans chapter 6.
