The purpose of writing this book was to create an inquisitiveness in some and an awakened interest in others to better understand the lead Author of the most popular book in history—the Bible!
Charles Spurgeon wrote: there must be knowledge of God before there can be love to God and on that basis, I have attempted to reveal the personal Creator and his Son Jesus, so individuals can respond to it. Plus, a smattering of exemplars who provide us with lessons for living.
Do you believe in the Big Bang theory, I do!! That was when time, space and matter came into existence. The opening statement of the Bible explains this in its simplicity. In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter) – all coming into existence simultaneously. Before that, nothing existed and then, BANG the observable universe for all of us to ponder.
Invest in yourself, take a look at the second chapter of a brilliant book in reductionism for most of us; “I Don’t Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST” Science and philosophical thought are increasingly being shaped by reasoning that there was an uncaused First Cause that gave us the foundational elements of time (past, present, future), space (length, width, height), and matter (solid, liquid, gas).
I understand that life is busy but I want to encourage you to read the most popular book in history, before you meet the Author!
God has set the stage for our life story to be acted out on and with the gift of a free will, it’s up to each of us to decide what role we want to play; wilderness wanderers as the Israelites of ancient times, so close to the Promised Land yet not permitted to enter; or a believer in God’s eternal promises fulfilled in Christ. There are only two options.
God does have a plan for humanity; he has set forth a calendar, established a timetable; and we all live along that timetable, somewhere from its beginning, to the end of all human rule on Earth. He needs each of us to start again spiritually, to become willing participants in the inward transformation of our disposition, ready for the day to come.
Becoming a Christian is easy. Maintaining the claim that Christ lives in you will be the most challenging, life-changing experience. How do we change our inner self to take on Christlikeness? How do we react in times when our faith is put to the test; – times of unknowables, those things sometimes beyond the limits of human experience or understanding?
The primary purpose of this book is to introduce the real God, because if we seek a relationship with him, we must think of it in terms of a valuable human relationship. There needs to be a degree of attractiveness; we need to share similar values as God possesses to even begin to flourish and grow.
I hope you enjoy the read as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.
