The booklet maintains that every person faces deep spiritual questions and has a God-shaped emptiness that cannot be satisfied by substitutes such as pleasure, money, power, religion, morality, drugs, alcohol, sex, property, or entertainment. It asserts that sin is serious because it brings guilt, fear, shame, alienation from God, and eternal separation, while also showing that Christ died for everyone and that forgiveness is available through God’s mercy. Ron Christian presents salvation as God’s gracious rescue, received through awakening, repentance, faith, and surrender rather than through wealth, worldly pleasure, human reason, morality, self-improvement, or personal effort. The work emphasizes that faith rests in Christ alone, who forgives sins, gives new life, establishes fellowship with God, and writes the believer’s name in the Book of Life. It concludes by encouraging new believers to follow Christ daily through confession, Bible reading, prayer, sharing their faith, church fellowship, and faithful stewardship.https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/dead-to-sin-alive-to-god/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/dead-to-sin-alive-to-god/Sin - Perversion of a Legitimate Desire! is a Christian devotional study by Ron Christian that maintains that sin often begins when a God-given desire is taken outside the boundaries of God’s will. Using the theme ‘Dead to Sin, Alive to God,’ the work contends that legitimate desires such as sexual desire, friendship, self-esteem, justice, pleasure, food, money, knowledge, anger, and the longing for companionship can become destructive when twisted by selfishness, pride, greed, lust, materialism, resentment, or self-centered love. Christian proposes that the problem is not the existence of human desire itself, but the misuse of desire apart from obedience, discipline, gratitude, humility, and love. The illustrated chart contrasts healthy, God-given desires with misplaced or perverted desires, showing how everyday longings can either serve God’s purposes or become harmful habits and attitudes. The closing devotional section reflects on renewal, healing, prayer, freedom from bitterness, confession, humor, family warmth, and personal growth, encouraging believers to live with a wider view of reality and to pursue transformation through Christ.
