Saved to Sin No More: How Union with Christ Empowers a Life of Holiness
By Brad Wetherell, Foreword by David Mathis
How Life in Christ Helps Fight Sin, Guilt, and Fear
Many Christians know what it’s like to feel worn down in the fight against sin. Others quietly settle into apathy, growing comfortable with the patterns they once resisted. What will free us to live a life of heartfelt obedience to Jesus Christ, pursuing him, and becoming more like him? Scripture points us to a single, liberating hope, with the power to free us for good.
Encouraging for new Christians and lifelong believers, this book explores how union with Christ offers lasting freedom and hope, both in this life and beyond the grave. Chapter by chapter, pastor and author Brad Wetherell walks readers through key biblical passages, showing that in Christ we can marvel at the miracle of conversion, fight sin with greater confidence, and rest in the riches of God’s glorious grace.

“The doctrine of union with Christ declares to us Christians that God has so removed every barrier that we are forever safe within the total salvation that Christ has accomplished. Pastor Brad Wetherell invites us into this strong assurance. May your heart be thrilled by all that is now yours in Christ!”
Ray Ortlund, President, Renewal Ministries
“With so many different approaches to spiritual formation presented to Christians today, it’s easy to lose sight of a basic but crucial question: What is the true source of our growth in the Christian life? In Saved to Sin No More, Brad Wetherell addresses this question by identifying, defining, and exploring the biblical reality that only through union with Christ can we become more like Christ. With the heart of a pastor and the precision of a theologian, Wetherell demonstrates how union with Christ undergirds our fight against sin and our pursuit of real righteousness. Drawing richly from both Scripture and the wisdom of saints who have gone before, Saved to Sin No More will be an encouragement to every Christian.”
Matthew C. Bingham, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Church History, Phoenix Seminary; author, A Heart Aflame for God
“Brad Wetherell has written a clear and compelling introduction to what may be the least understood and most vital reality of the Christian life. Union with Christ makes progress in our battle against sin possible, and any teaching that misses this dynamic will only be another version of self-help. This book will deepen your appreciation of all that is yours in Christ. It will give you hope, and it will spur you on in your pursuit of a holy life.”
Colin S. Smith, President, Open the Bible; Pastor Emeritus, The Orchard, Arlington Heights, Illinois
“The doctrine of our union with Christ is, as Brad Wetherell tells us, both a ‘joy-producing’ and ‘holiness-producing’ doctrine. Resting firmly on careful biblical work, especially on the profound and beautiful chapters of Romans 5 and 6, Wetherell has provided not just a much-needed understanding of the implications of our union with Christ, but, even more, he has provided much-needed encouragement for our daily lives as Christ followers. There is no Christian who is not in need of the help this book supplies.”
Mike Bullmore, Founding Pastor, CrossWay Community Church, Bristol, Wisconsin
“Brad Wetherell has written an extraordinary book that will help ordinary Christians understand and embrace the significance of their union with Christ.”
Robert L. Plummer, Collin and Evelyn Aikman Professor of Biblical Studies, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
