Jesus, the God-Man of the Bible predicted by the Old Testament prophets, came to earth from heaven. The life and teachings of Jesus include His claim of eternal deity and His resolve to lay down His life to save humans from their sin. Like God the Father, Jesus as the Son of God said “I AM” in many ways. His claims were meant to give assurance to believers of His love for humanity and His power to save. The ultimate miracle of Jesus came through His resurrection, while the detailed reporting of eyewitnesses and historians gave testimony of its veracity.
The book delves into examples of human moral codes and philosophy versus God’s perfect laws. Humans have a long history of doing what seems right in their own sight. Mankind has failed God throughout history and desperately needs Jesus, the Savior. The urgency of the gospel of Christ hinges on the acceptance or rejection of God’s one and only Son. For those who receive Jesus, the eternally-resurrected Jesus gives resurrection and eternal life. Furthermore, the believer can know whom he believes by committing to follow Christ under Jesus’ instruction as found in the Christian Bible. Submitting to Jesus will result in the peace that transcends all understanding, even as one walks in communion with Jesus Himself. The promises of the Scriptures become real, one’s peace in Christ becomes real, and Jesus proves to be a real friend.
