chapter 1
I know, that at some level this is hard to grasp; remember
that we are just as skeptical as you.
But we were there from the start.
We heard it, saw it, touched it, felt it
and were part of it from the core of its
happening. We
saw the Word of God come to life and stand before
us, in all human form; it was incredible, but it
is so very true.
We interacted with this Word (Jesus) and we are telling
you, it changed our lives.
And the really cool part of it all is that
just like we interacted with God’s living Word,
so can you. The
way Jesus changed our lives, he can change yours
as well; you too can experience a new life in
Christ.
What we think would be very cool, and give
us a great joy in our hearts, is if you too would
see what we see and walk in His light.
Get this, this is the bottom line of it all – the core of
the DNA of God’s message to us all, through
Jesus Christ – ready?
Here it is, ‘God is light, pure basic
freeing light; and because God is light, there is
zero darkness in him.’
Do you see how that all comes together?
If we say that we are followers of the way,
but our life does not produce light – we’re
lying, blowing smoke – we are not living our
life in the light of God.
But, if we live a life filled with light
(remember that God is light) we share a life with
each other – we are connected and communal.
We stand untied in the blood of Jesus
Christ, God’s son.
His blood is a sacrifice for our sins.
Remember that anyone who claims to be free from sin is
fooling themselves, anyone who thinks like that is
just clowning around and is filled with garbage.
You see, if we admit we are sinners, and we
admit our sins – declare to make a clean break
of it and start fresh – God will never walk away
from us; because He’s true to His word –
He’s a different kind of father.
You see, once we ask, we are forgive and
saved from a life of sin and doing wrong.
So, if we claimed we never sin, or never
sinned, all we are doing is fooling ourselves and
saying that God is a liar.
And let’s be honest, no one can honestly
make a claim like that.
