By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The best news a human could receive is the news that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again. It is the only thing that makes everything we do worthwhile, even though we are just flawed people in a broken world.

#2 The world that God created was perfect, but when man and woman stepped outside of God’s ordained plan, everything was scarred by sin. When God saw his world ravaged by sin, he devised a plan to fix it.

#3 The announcement of the kingdom of God is a brief sentence in the Gospel of Mark. It is a practical and intensely personal hope that gives meaning to the harsh realities of the Fall. The kingdom of God is not a political or physical rule, but a within you kingdom that will be won in human hearts.

#4 The good news is that Christ has come to change people, not in the self-absorbed sense our culture assumes. The kingdom is about the display of God’s glory and people who are holy. This is what he came to produce.

#1

The best news a human could receive is the news that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again. It is the only thing that makes everything we do worthwhile, even though we are just flawed people in a broken world.

#2

The world that God created was perfect, but when man and woman stepped outside of God’s ordained plan, everything was scarred by sin. When God saw his world ravaged by sin, he devised a plan to fix it.

#3

The announcement of the kingdom of God is a brief sentence in the Gospel of Mark. It is a practical and intensely personal hope that gives meaning to the harsh realities of the Fall. The kingdom of God is not a political or physical rule, but a within you kingdom that will be won in human hearts.

#4

The good news is that Christ has come to change people, not in the self-absorbed sense our culture assumes. The kingdom is about the display of God’s glory and people who are holy. This is what he came to produce.

#5

Change is possible, and it is the goal of God to bring people back to the purpose they were created for: to live every aspect of their lives in worshipful, obedient submission to him.

The world can only offer people a system of redemption, a collection of insights, or steps in a process. We, on the other hand, meet people as they desperately dig and ask for their shovels. We gently turn them away from the mound, and joyfully turn them to the Man, Jesus Christ.

#7

We must never treat the Bible as a collection of therapeutic insights. To do so distorts its message and will not lead to lasting change. We must always point people to Jesus, the only answer.

#8

Because the world rejects a biblical view of people, it eliminates the ability to answer the what is wrong. question accurately. And if it wrongly answers this question, how can it possibly provide a proper solution. The Bible says that our core problem, the reason we do what we do, is sin.

#9

The only hope for Pamela is a Redeemer. We cannot step out of our sinfulness. We need more than love and encouragement, information and insight. We need rescue. Anything less
