About the Book
As Jesus Christ promised in John 14:23, every one human being has been commissioned by Jesus Christ, to "practice and teach" everything that Jesus Christ has taught us in the Bible. In other words, it has been given to each and every one of us, to live holy lives, and through our holiness, attract God and His Christ to our respective lives, so that they can come to us, and establish their home with us (John 14:23)! In the freedom that Jesus Christ has given us, nobody needs to wait for another to tell them when to act, in order to take hold of that prize: It is given to all freely, and can be claimed by each of us as we wanted! The religions that we belong to, are allowed by God, to help all of us learn about this freedom to choose, so that we can make our own election as we desire, without waiting for anyone's approval. That is the freedom we have in Jesus Christ, which the Bible continues to remind us of. Freedom is freedom, and does not hinge on the approval of any religious institution or other human authorities-like the governments that prevent the expression of faith and religion in their nations. If God-the God who created us and everything we see and interact with-allows us to choose even whether to obey Him or not, there is nothing He limited us from exercising choice on! That is true freedom. But because life is the most advanced science that there is, and because only precise steps can successfully take anyone through any science, God warns us not to use the freedom He has given to us, to indulge the flesh, and so, do evil and perish: -Galatians 5:13-26 NIV - "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Obey God and remain God and His Christ's contact address on the earth, so that you will continue to have unfettered access to God! Every human being that comes into the world, came into the world to have relationships! Relationships are "the good works" which God had prepared in Jesus Christ for each of us to do, in advance of our respective creations in Christ by God (Ephesians 2:10)! God had put us in communities (marriage, family, church, society, etc.) to get us to have relationships and make our relationships fruitful (Genesis 1:28); (John 15:1-17); (1 Corinthians 12:7-31); (Matthew 11:27-30); (Matthew 5:13-16); (Acts 17:28), etc. We were, each, conceived by a man and a woman, who God had entrusted with our care and nurturing before we were each born. So, no one came into the world outside of a relationship that was already here before they got here. And relationship is not about being related, but about relating as God had designed for us to relate.
