What do you do when you feel unworthy? How do you find freedom from shame, guilt, and sin?
We've boiled down the message of Christianity to being imperfect people who have been forgiven. But what if the message isn't just about what Christ has done for us - forgiving our sins so we can go to heaven one day - but also about what he has done to us?
Life is filled with shame, guilt, sin, and hurt. These things have convinced us that we're flawed, we're not enough, and that something is uniquely wrong with who we are. And quite honestly, we look to Christianity for help and the message we often hear leaves us disappointed, doubtful, and disillusioned.
Zach Maldonado has experienced this firsthand. But he's discovered that who we truly are is not found in what we've done or what we've gone through. In Perfect and Forgiven, Zach takes us into his own journey of identity, and with humor, vulnerability, and a unique story-driven format, reveals how to live free from shame, guilt, and sin.
Through understanding who you are in Christ, you can begin to live free from the shame that condemns you, the guilt that riddles you, and the sin that entangles you.

This is what the gospel message is really about. God is not in love with some future version of me. He doesn't look at me with"Jesus" colored glasses and pretend not to see me. I'm not a dirty worm. God and I are on the same team. His desires are my desires. I am dead to sin and alive to God. That is, I was born in sin, in Adam. That version of me has been crucified with Christ and I am now rasied to new life in Christ. My time-line no longer traces back to Adam. I am now traced back to the second Adam, the perfect spotless lamb of God. I am forever bonded and sealed together with Him, the Father, and the Holy Spirit who reside in my heart. The bottom line, I used to think God and I were on different teams. I thought, "I'll obey you because you died for me and you love me." That, " I'll depart from my wicked ways and instead keep my mind focused on you." But, I thought that I was denying my "true" self. I'll obey, but if I could have a "free sin" day, I would do whatever I wanted! The truth Zach reveals is that I can do whatever I want now. God encourages me to do just that! Because not only did he forgive me of all my sins, past - present - and future, but he also replaced my deceitfully wicked dead heart with a living heart that is perfectctowards him. Not only that, he changed my "want to!" My motivation is not fear of punishment, but from the love of God that richly dwells in my heart. I cannot become closer to God or become further away. We are one. Perfectly united together for all eternity. This book helped me understand my true identity - who God says I am. Not because of my performance, but because of what Christ has done for me.
This is the cure!
