Bøger i The New Christianity of Christ serien

After the kingdom of God, Jesus preached on eternal life more than anything else during his ministry. It was one of his central tenets and demonstrations. Jesus's own words, buttressed by the text of the Gospel of John, prove that eternal life is not merely a reference to some far-off future in our resurrected bodies in heaven with the Father. Instead, it begins here-now. Dr. Festus Enumah's addition to his New Gospel Revelations series is a primer on the mystery of eternal life. In this book, you'll dig deep into concepts that tie in to the hidden meaning behind the words of Jesus, Paul, and the writers of the Gospels: Jesus's role in human creation The purpose for which God created humankind The Jewish concept of salvation and eternity Jesus's kingdom of God Paul's doctrine on sin, salvation, and eternal life The true meaning behind Jesus's encounter with the rich young ruler Jesus has invited you to follow him into his kingdom of God so that he may reveal to you the endless mysteries of himself and the Father. You will receive the gift of eternal life-if you are willing to follow where Christ leads.

A foundation of Christianity is the calling to emulate the characteristics of Christ. Jesus was the perfect demonstration of the miracle of life and the example of what we, as Christians, should hope to become with the aid of the Holy Spirit within us. While their spiritual gift may not have been the speaking of tongues, Chancellor Angela Merkel and many Germans let the Holy Ghost live through them in their response to refugees from war-torn counties. They gave to the needy. They fed the hungry. The words that came from their mouths were spoken with compassion, mercy, and love, extended to strangers who had nothing to give in return. They preached by way of practice and let the Father in heaven live through them on earth. Despite sporadic terrorist attacks in Germany, Merkel knew that she and other Christians were called to be loving servants in the name of Jesus, even to those whom many feared by association. All Christians are called to be active participants in living a godly life-not merely onlookers. Be inspired by this story of Germany's real-life demonstration of Christlike compassion and love.
