Exploring the significance of the Holy Spirit, the book delves into its role as the ultimate gift from God. It highlights four critical differences relevant to the current "administration of the secret," a period starting from Pentecost and concluding with the Rapture of Christians. Understanding these distinctions is essential for grasping the transformative impact of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers during this unique era.
The sub-title of this 210-page book is A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil, Sin and Suffering. It addresses what is probably the number one question most people have about God: If He is a loving God, why is there such rampant human suffering? The book shows biblically that God is not at all to blame, that the cause of all suffering is sin, and it shows whose sin. It shows why Jesus Christ is the fulcrum of history in this regard, and resolves the seemingly apparent contradiction between the nature of the Old Testament God and that of the New Testament God, which, of course are the same changeless God. The book exposes the myth that God is totally in control of all that happens (which would make Him responsible for it) and shows that He and His Son Jesus Christ are doing all they can to intervene in the realm of the Devil and help us. A chapter on faith shows what faith is and how it helps us access the power of God. The book shows how God does test us for our benefit, though never by tragedy or affliction. It explains what the chastening of God is and why it has nothing to do with anything like punishing us. The redemptive value of the proper response to suffering is also discussed.
This guide gives biblical answers to the following questions: What is death? Is death a "graduation"? Is death a friend or foe? What is the "soul"? Where are the dead? Why does God use the metaphor of "sleep" to describe death? What are the practical benefits to believing the truth about this subject? After laying the groundwork, the text deals with 14 sections of Scripture commonly used to "prove" that the "dead" are "alive."
