Some of the contents in this series may be too graphical and not suitable for children. Parental discretion is advised. This book serves as a documentation of what a recipient of the mercy and grace of Elohim has found convincing from His written Word. God is love. I have the utmost respect for the gift of free choice from the loving Father God. This is the first of five-volume series on "The Messianic Credentials". It is not about what the right choice should be. It would be ludicrously futile to debate over such a thing as it is a matter of perception. In the process of putting this series together, I realized that God (Elohim) did not write what we like to hear. He wrote what we need to hear. This is because love corrects (Proverbs 3:12 and Hebrews 12:6). And God is love (1 John 4:8 and 1 John 4:16). He wrote the Bible out of His Spirit of love. In view of the above, I have written this series to relay that same Spirit. It is an appeal to consider reunion with God the loving Father from the perspective of the salvation wrought through Christ crucified. The love of God will bring about a change in perspective. In the words of Romans 2:4, it is the kindness of God that leads to repentance. As a caveat, this series is to be read with an open mind. It is meant to present the state of things from a Biblical perspective with no malicious and derogative intent. Any perception to the contrary is highly unfortunate and/or regrettable. Among other things, this volume examines the following notions: 1. Disasters are acts of God; 2. God helps those who help themselves; 3. Life and death is in the hands of God; and 4. Every man with a mustache is a father (有鬍鬚就係老豆; jau5 wu4 sou1 zau6 hai6 lou5 dau6). The above are just some common perception of God. The last bits is about men. God sent the flood to destroy the ancient world. He also sent the Ten Plagues on ancient Egypt. Why would God, Who is love, do that? Is there an underlying rationale behind that apparent anomaly? As an Omniscient God, why did He place the forbidden tree in the Garden when He already knew Adam would eat from it? Similarly, why did God create Lucifer knowing well that he would rebel against Him? Since God foreknew that both Adam and Lucifer would fall, how can He then blame them? In this first volume, we will take a closer look at all that. In addition, you will: 1. Know what is really meant by sin (It’s not about right doing); 2. Appreciate how knowing the true meaning of sin will deepen the gratitude for the gracious love of God (Hence the Law leads to Christ); 3. Witness how Eve demonstrated the danger of knowing God based on hearsay; 4. Look at how evil has been made God and God, evil (Romans 1:18); 5. See a graphical representation of the origin of sin and the cycle of sin; 6. Trace the current ills of the earth right back to its source; 7. Gain insight into how the Law leads to Christ from the example of the apostle Paul; 8. Understand the detailed mechanics of crucifixion and therein get a sense of what the Lord went through to redeem us; 9. Extract the pertinent points of Peter’s sermon which effectively summarized what is meant by faith comes from hearing and hearing the message concerning Christ (Romans 10:17); 10. Marvel at how our hero Jesus Christ has broken the sin cycle; 11. Tap into the wisdom of God to see the future as pre-written history; and 12. Get to receive the most precious gift of your life. God has in times past foretold what the Christ would do (Hebrews 1:1-3). Along came this man by the name of Jesus from Nazareth. He did everything that God said that the Christ would do. What does that tell us? Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. Hence, the more we hear of how Jesus of Nazareth had done what God said the Christ would do, faith in Him as the Christ arises; faith comes. This series focuses on the evidence God has provided to prove that Jesus of Nazareth was the Promised Messiah, with emphasis on His humanity aspect. The first volume of this series plays a preparatory role just as how John the Baptist announced the arrival of the Promised Messiah. It is to prepare the heart to receive the love of Father God as demonstrated by Christ crucified. Against this backdrop, I invite you to approach this series with an open mind. You may just find the perfect match for that earnest yearning in the deepest recess of your heart. Looking forward to meeting with you in the word.
