About the Author

Introduction

Imagine this: what if all human problems disappeared completely? No more murders, pains, or sorrows? What if there is an end to all sufferings from diseases, oppressions, and wars? And instead, we get the perfect and eternal life full of love, joy, peace, abundance, and perfect health forever? Well, it is possible. In fact, it is going to happen for those who can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Love is at the heart of entering God’s kingdom. This book seeks to help you understand the link between embracing God’s way of love and gaining access to the kingdom of heaven for eternal life. You do want that access because, in God’s kingdom, all human problems (which are rooted in sin) will be terminated completely, permanently. Praise the Lord!

Sin is bad because it contradicts God’s love. The deceptive lure of sin entails that we do things our way (rooted in greed) rather than God’s way (grounded in love). We see sin in the wickedness humans so easily and readily inflict on each other daily. Sin distorts and diminishes in us the essence of God’s image we are supposed to reflect. We are all created in God’s image. Essentially, God is love. We are supposed to reflect love. Otherwise, we become diminished. Indeed, the Lord of all creation is the source of love and the source of life. Because it produces a separation from the source of love and life, sin results in human decay and death.

We have all sinned and so are all doomed to decaying and dying, accentuating a devastating separation from God. The consequence of sin permeates and pollutes everything we touch. It dooms our best efforts.
