Getting the Gospel Right in a Confused World
If your faith doesn’t change your life, is it real? That’s the question Stirlen challenges readers to ask in Chapter 7. Too many people claim to believe in Christ but show no evidence of transformation. They treat salvation like fire insurance—something to check off once and forget. But biblical faith is different. It surrenders. It follows. It grows.
Stirlen explains that genuine saving faith isn’t just agreement with facts—it’s trust that produces obedience. Lordship isn’t optional. The moment we receive Christ, we receive Him as both Savior and King. To preach otherwise is to mislead.
God’s grace saves us freely—but it never leaves us unchanged. If the gospel you believe hasn’t altered your direction, it’s time to reexamine your foundation.
