The book addresses many of the conflicts felt by Christians, including the daily interpretation of identity and how condemnation has been a primary motivation over grace.
"Out of a central condemning lie, we develop foolish strategies to overcome a lie, which is unnecessary since Christ already took care of this for Christians on the front end," said Smart. "It is my conviction that the Gospel isn't just for non-Christians, but is the milk for new 'baby' Christians and the meat for the mature."
"Embracing Your Identity in Christ" encourages followers to live by the Gospel and not the oppressive rule of condemnation. It is also one out of four books by Smart that represents the four seasons of spiritual formation in the Christian life.
