Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Faith in Christ is the non-negotiable factor that transforms us from darkness to light, granting us heaven as our future home. Nothing is more important for us to understand, and today each and every one of us needs to trust in Christ.

Believers in Christ look forward to a home in heaven. This outlook gives a sense of promise and hope. And this hope is something we can share with all who ask us why we have that hope. Do you have that hope?

It is difficult to be sure of anything in this world. But Christians can know where they are going after death. That’s because the assurance of salvation is built on three pillars in the Scriptures, and you can rest on God’s promises.

In the race of the Christian life, it’s possible to be certain that you will finish in heaven. Knowing your destiny makes all the trials of life bearable. For those of you who are doubting, you can have assurance of salvation.
