Pangs Have Been Loosed

"[T]his Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

It is not the things we do or the desires we have that define us but instead the gospel truth of our standing in Jesus that gives us identity. The book is a quick and comforting read and Lomas
