Jerry Bridges is a longtime staff member of the Navigators and currently serves with their collegiate ministry. In addition to his international speaking ministry, he has authored ten books and three devotionals including The Pursuit of Holiness, which has sold well over a million copies, and the award-winning The Discipline of Grace and I Will Follow You, O God. While Jerry Bridges is a prolific author, he currently spends much of his time touring the country to preach the truths explored in his books and encouraging younger disciples of Christ in their pursuit of God. Jerry Bridges gift for simple but deep spiritual communication is fully displayed in this warm-hearted, Biblical spelling out of the Christian's true identity in Christ. J. I. Packer I know of no one better prepared than Jerry Bridges to write Who Am I? He is a man who knows who he is in Christ and he helps us to see succinctly and clearly who we are to be. Thank you for another gift to the Church of your wisdom and insight in this book. R. C. Sproul

Top Highlights

“This makes us both dependent upon God and accountable to God.” (source)

“So we see that, for Paul, justification was not only a past event but also a present reality. Every day Paul looked outside of himself, to Christ and his finished work, and saw himself righteous in the sight of God because he was in Christ.” (source)

“What Paul is getting at in these two verses is that in God’s way of dealing with humanity there are only two men, Adam and Christ. All the rest of us are represented before God by one or the other of these two men.” (source)

“Living union. The second aspect is the living union through the Holy Spirit, by which we, by faith, draw upon the nourishment and power of the living Christ to enable us to live the Christian life.” (source)

“This faith is like the two sides of a coin. On one side is ‘renunciation.’ On the other side is ‘reliance.’ In order to trust in Christ we must first of all renounce any trust in our own perceived righteousness. Then we must rely completely on the finished work of Christ in both his life and death. That’s how we are justified.” (source)
