Elijah Sande takes readers beyond religion and performance into a deeper experience of faith—one grounded not in striving but in believing. With biblical clarity and heartfelt wisdom, he unfolds the truth that forgiveness, acceptance, and righteousness are not goals to achieve but gifts already secured through Jesus’ sacrifice. Each chapter gently dismantles the lie that we must earn God’s approval and replaces it with the liberating truth of His unconditional grace. Whether you feel weary from trying to be “good enough” or long to experience true spiritual rest, this book will lead you to the foot of the Cross—where striving ends, and peace begins. Discover how to live each day not for victory, but from it, because Jesus truly meant it when He said, “It is finished.”
