As common as it is terrible. As easy to overlook as it is
dangerous. Backsliding is the worst thing that can happen to anyone
claiming faith in Jesus. Learn the diagnosis. Experience the cure.
The Christian life is a race. Through the gospel, God summons us to
sustained and persevering effort. He empowers his children by
grace-free and undeserved blessing through Christ. But he does not
carry them to heaven on flowery beds of ease. Faith is a living,
athletic grace. God's mercy motivates Christians and energizes them
to press on and overcome great obstacles. Christ blazed the trail
before us. He now calls us to follow Him to the end (Hebrews
12:1-2). Looking unto Jesus-that is how we persevere. In him is
everything we need. But realistically speaking, Christians are not
always pressing forward. Sometimes they wander off the narrow path,
slip, and injure themselves. To the confused and injured runner,
this book says, "God can help you. You can finish this race-and
finish it well." Drawing from the wisdom of the Scriptures and
aided by the insights of godly Bible teachers through the
centuries, Getting Back in the Race addresses the age-old problem
of backsliding. Backsliding is a season in the life of a professing
Christian when his sin grows stronger and his obedience to God
declines. The beginning of the book uncovers signs of sliding into
a spiritual rut, for this is often more subtle than falling into
scandalous sins. The rest of the book shows that there is hope for
the backslider. God is so amazing Even though our backsliding
insults him, dishonors him, grieves him, and pushes away his love,
still He calls us to return to him. When you grasp hold of God's
methods by faith, you discover that Christ has grasped hold of you.
Our spiritual Physician has potent medicines to heal his people
from their injuries and get them back on track to finish the race.
This book is a wake-up call to careless Christians and an
encouragement to all believers to keep running to the Lord.
