‘What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?’
This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He’s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep–rooted, life–altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to ‘make it’, the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self–forgetfulness.
In this short and punchy book, best–selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel–humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from ...self–condemnation. A truly gospel–humble person is not a self–hating person or a self–loving person, but a self–forgetful person.
This freedom can be yours…
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness is a little gem of a book. It can be read in 30-40 minutes and helps us to consider how busy we are measuring up all of our words, actions, looks and responses to both our own standards and to the standards of those around us. I've been really challenged to think about how God is concerned about where my heart and motives are, and encouraged to consider that God loves me for who I am, his child. I would highly recommend this book.
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness is a little gem of a book. It can be read in 30-40 minutes and helps us to consider how busy we are measuring up all of our words, actions, looks and responses to both our own standards and to the standards of those around us. This is exhausting and can fuel either low self esteem or high self esteem.
Through considering Paul's words to the Corinthians we are called to gospel humility - which is not thinking of ourselves more or less, but thinking about ourselves less.
All that really matters is what God thinks ...of us. He is the one with the right standards and he is the one who will one day judge us. For those of us who are saved, we can know that God loves us and accepts us for what Jesus has done for us on the cross. God loves us as his own children and this isn't altered by what we look like, what others think of us or even what we think of ourselves. If we can live by this truth, our lives will be transformed. I would highly recommend this book.
