In, Be Like Christ: Exploring the Truth of Life in Christ, Tom Witherill takes an in depth look at one of the most important questions in the life of a follower of Jesus Christ ... can we become like Jesus here and now in our earthly lives? To answer this ultimate question, Tom will unfold some of the biggest controversies and stumbling blocks to living this new life in Christ, and answer if it is even possible to be like Christ today, or do we have to wait until we are in heaven to attain this goal? Some of the issues to be looked at are: What does it even mean to "Be Like Christ"? Biblical support for and against being like Jesus now. Understanding Sin, the Flesh, and Sinful Nature. Are we "just sinners"? Are we "only human"? Understanding Paul's "struggle" in Romans 7. What does it mean to be created in the "Image of God"? What is "Free Will"? Is sin an "option" for Christians? What does it mean to be a Disciple? What are Jesus' expectations for us as His followers? Do we have to be obedient to abide in God? How do we live the Christian life now? With a "down to earth" writing style, and a very practical view of what an amazing life in Christ should look like, Tom will examine life in the kingdom of God, explore the ideas and questions above and much more, using the Bible, reason, logic, and truth. Simply, how can we become powerful followers of Christ now, using all the gifts God has given us, to become the children of God He's intended us to be, and to serve God on this earth in perhaps the greatest mission field in all of creation? All this with the greatest joy a life with God has to offer. And most important of all, to learn to love God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, and with all our strength (Mark 12:30)! Be ready to challenge and to be challenged. Be ready to see how God's word is to be used to give us great strength as His followers and to become everything we should be as His disciples, now! Tom Witherill holds an MA in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. He has a passion for truth and living life in the reality of God, and for believers to live in the fullness, strength, and reality of what a life with Christ should be. His heart is also for unbelievers and especially the atheist community to which he once belonged. Of particular interest to him are issues involving proofs/evidences for the existence of God and the consistency of belief in Christianity versus Atheism.
