Niet één gelovige betwijfelt de noodzaak van groei. We lezen erover in de Bijbel en we zien het in ons eigen hart. Maar hoe doden we de zonde? Hoe groeien we in de genade en kennis van onze Heere en Zaligmaker Jezus Christus?

Een christen groeit in heiligmaking door zich te verheugen in alles wat hij in Christus al heeft. Dane Ortlund onderwijst ons over de...

Ze weten wat Christus voor hen heeft gedaan, maar weten ze ook wat er in Zijn hart leeft? Weten ze Wie Hij is en hoe Hij denkt over Zijn kinderen? In Mattheüs 11 beschrijft Jezus Zichzelf als 'zachtmoedig en nederig van hart'. Hij verlangt ernaar dat Zijn kinderen, die strijden met zonde en lijden, Zijn hart leren kennen en rust vinden in Hem. Ortlund overde...
