Devoted to God: Blueprints for Sanctification by Sinclair Ferguson
This recent book by by Sinclair Ferguson seeks to answer the question, “How does God accomplish Christlikeness in us, which is his ultimate goal?” I found his focus on the work of God, and our union with Christ, to be very helpful, especially as he explained Galatians 2:20, “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me…” I found this book to be of great encouragement to focus on a “new rhythm” of putting off the old nature and putting on the new nature of Christ, and on the concept of “the expulsive power of a new affection.” Overall a great exposition of each of the sanctification passages of the New Testament.
