Jay Adams explores the allegory of Hagar and Sarah from Galatians 4:21-31, contrasting those who live under the law (symbolized by Hagar) with those who live by faith in God’s promise (symbolized by Sarah). He emphasizes the importance of living as children of the promise, embracing the freedom found in Christ rather than being enslaved by legalism. Adams encourages believers to examine their spiritual identity and live in the freedom that Christ provides.
Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
