I am not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior.

Remade: Embracing Your Complete Identity in Christ will help you gain a biblical view of yourself through three lenses: those of a saint who is redeemed, a sinner saved by grace, and a co-sufferer with Christ on behalf of the Gospel.

“They sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.’”

“Changes,” a popular ’70s-era song, captures well the feeling many of us have toward the notion of change:

And everyone must play the game;
It’s here today and gone tomorrow,
But the world goes on the same.¹
