Today’s world can feel like a prison for many Christian men. Everywhere there are temptations and traps, and we can find ourselves bound by the sinful lusts of the flesh. Yet finding freedom in the fight requires a desire to know and cherish the true God of the Bible.
In Freedom in the Fight, author Jonathan Copeland heralds the gospel over the darkness of pornography, proclaiming the life-giving difference between trying harder and pursuing rest in Christ’s perfect work on the cross. Ultimately, the goal is for men to walk away from pornography and to know that they are not alone, that they are loved, that they are forgiven, and that there is no sin with more power than the cross of Christ.
Christ knows our struggles, and he still went to the cross for us. For his atoning blood on the cross, there is now freedom in our fight against temptation and sexual immorality. This is where true freedom is found, and the gospel is what will give us the legs we need to walk away from pornography.
“Desiring God in the truth of the Word of God is your greatest tool against the enemy.”
