WHY AM I HERE?” “WHY DID GOD CREATE ME?” This booklet shows from scripture the answer. God created us to live in us, that his pure, selfless nature become our nature. As he was in the man Yahushua (Hebrew for Jesus), so he wants to be in the church, in you, in me. That is the purpose of creation. That is why God made us. The English word for “God in man” is “incarnation.”
God fully lived in his Son so that to see the Son is to see the Father. He wants to live in us the same way. Yahushua, a man, is the pattern. This is God’s plan of incarnation. This is God’s plan for you. Note this prayer of Yahushua:
“that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” (John 17:21)
This is written to help his people toward that goal.
By shedding the trappings of tradition and returning to the authoritative source of the original text, God In Man returns you to the path that leads to life—the life of abundance that Yahushua calls his disciples to in the Gospels and the pure, sin-free life that God created you to experience from the beginning: God in man, his very being in you.
HAVE YOU WONDERED HOW Jesus could be both infinite deity and finite human? Have you wondered how one deity could be three deities, each the whole yet each separate from the other? Since these beliefs aren’t stated in Scripture and are logical impossibilities, have you wondered how they became what defines Christianity today?
This book is your answer. It uses Scripture to interpret Scripture (not tradition), and uses words to mean what they mean: one means one only, man means human only.
This understanding will help you become what you were created to be—for the Father to live in you so that you show his nature of love to others, just as his beloved son did. Yahushua, a man who always chose to obey his Father, is our pattern. Because of this man, we can overcome all sin and become his Bride.
IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT BORN AGAIN MEANS; if you are fed up with the worldliness in the church; if you want to become what God created you to be; if you want to become the pure, spotless Bride for whom Christ is coming; if you want to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself—then this book is for you.
Being born again is being born from above. It is the most wonderful thing in all of life, for you receive God’s life in you. But what is it, how do you get it, what does it do for you, and what is its purpose? Few Christians have any idea. For many it just means believing in Jesus and going to church, and you can still live your life any way you want, but you escape hell and go to heaven. Such thinking is way off the mark and misses the life God has for you.
Being born again is only the beginning of the journey. The goal is to be changed from loving self first to loving the Father first. He created us to have his nature of selfless love, that we bear his image and likeness. Those who don’t pursue this will be rejected at the final judgment.
How would you live if you knew you could lose your salvation? How would you live if you knew that you could overcome all sin in your life? How would you live if you loved the Father with every fiber of your being? How would you live if you loved him more than yourself or anyone or anything else?
This is the path to becoming the Bride, the company of believers for whom Messiah is coming in the event called the rapture, being snatched from earth to heaven without dying. This book outlines the steps in that path and explains the various aspects of what born again is all about. The path is difficult and the gate is narrow. Only a few are willing to pay the cost of dying to self to qualify, but anyone can be among that few. This book shows how—it is both a manual on born again, and a call to wake up from sleep and rise to the call of the Bride.
THROUGH STORY-TELLING, COMMENTARY, TYPOLOGY and exhortation you will find answers to questions such as:
Why did our Father create the way he did?
Why six days of creation with a seventh day of rest?
What do the lives of Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel and the others in Genesis tell us about his plan of creation and redemption?
The book of Genesis is the foundation for the rest of the scriptures. In it we see the origin of man and the universe, and the fall of man and the origin of sin. We find why men are evil and cruel to one another, and why nations are at war. We also see our own condition and the struggles inside of us. More importantly, we see the remedy for sin through the sinless man, the last Adam, Jesus Christ—from Paradise lost to Paradise regained. The book of Genesis helps us understand all the rest of the scriptures.
THE BOOK OF REVELATION takes the reader through the history of the church from Pentecost to the future Bride of Messiah on the new earth. In it we see that the creator Father and his son the Messiah are fully in control of everything that happens.
We see the Bride inside the harlot woman, which is the world system of false religion, economics and politics, also called Babylon.
We see the call to the Bride to come out of her, to come out of worldliness and pagan traditions that she not share in her judgment.
We see her, a minority of the church, coming out as a mature male son (man child KJV) walking in righteousness and in the miracle power of Messiah to bring in the last-day harvest of souls, and by so doing to bring the antichrist plan of world government to a halt.
And we see her snatched up to heaven, called the rapture.
The bulk of visions is about the seven years of tribulation on the earth under the rule of the antichrist world government after the rapture. The first 3½ years of the tribulation are upon the lukewarm believers: they either take the 666 Mark of the Beast and lose their salvation or are martyred. The second 3½ years are upon the world, ending with the coming of Messiah to begin his 1,000 year rule, called the Millennium.
This book takesthe reader through Apocalypse verse by verse to unveil the meanings of the visions and draws the believer into a deeper commitment to Messiah, to get ready to be a part of the Bride company of believers that he is coming for.
HOW FAMILIAR WITH THE BIBLE ARE YOU? Can you repeat the names of all the 66 books in it, in order? How quickly can you find where a particular verse reference is?
If someone were to ask you about what’s in any of the books, could you tell him or her? Can you give the flow of narrative throughout, from Genesis to Revelation? And what about the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments? How did that period affect what Judaism was at the time Messiah lived and the church was born at Pentecost?
Further, how equipped are you to lead a Bible study, or teach a Sunday School class?
This book will help you. It is a brief overview of all of scripture, including the Inter-testament period. Further, it will inspire you to develop a hunger for the word of our Father so as to grow and change to be like him.
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2Ti 3:16-17).
We each were created to do good works, works the Father calls good (Eph 2:10).
For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yahushua to do good works, which God prepared in advance that we should walk in them (Eph 2:10).
JESUS COMMANDED US to be perfect/complete as our heavenly Father is perfect/complete (Matthew 5:48). The Greek for perfect also means complete. The only way to obey this command is by living in the spirit of God. In ourselves we cannot be perfect, for we are created incomplete. We can only be complete when God lives in us so that he lives his life through us.
This is his plan for man, that we live and move as one (John 17:21-23). He created us to be in his image and likeness, and we achieve this by living in the spirit.
These believers, the ones who are living in the spirit, are the Bride of Messiah, that company of believers who are without spot or blemish or any such thing and are reaching out to others to join them.
We are in the last days before the rapture in which Messiah catches out his Bride to meet him in the air. There is an urgency to repent and be ready.
This is a “How To” book of how to “live in the spirit” and be working with God to “make man in our image.” Hard sayings are made clear. The kingdom is intense; therefore, so is this book. Be inspired. Be changed.
From God Hater to Healing Evangelist and Pastor
THIS IS A WORK OF REALITY in a fiction setting. Expect resemblances to actual events and persons living and dead, coincidental or not. The author—retired, a former missionary in Sierra Leone and the Philippines, pastor in America, and Bible College teacher—has had many experiences in a variety of religious and non-religious settings, and draws from them.
This fictional story is a “how-to” that takes important principles and spiritual truths and places them in a format we can understand—the life of a young man as he suffers heartache and loss, learns purpose, and finds answers to the “why” questions that we all ask ourselves.
As we share Angelo’s journey with him, his struggles and victories, we’ll see what it really means to be born again, why we need it, and that being born again is only the beginning of the journey.
