What Is The Foundation?
So, what is it that will make this ministry a force that will create change where other ministries have not been able to achieve? What am I stating that this ministry will establish?
I believe there are several principles which, when taken together and applied in tandem express the central core to the gospel.
It comes back to what we as men might call is the Great Dilemma of God.
How can a Holy God embrace a sinful man that He Loves and Desires to have a close and intimate relationship with and not compromise His Holiness?
When you meditate in this question and prayerfully read the scriptures several ideas come into clarity. The list below will be expanded and taken together will give an answer to the question.
- God’s Original Intention For Creating Man.
- Man is a Three-part Being.
- Man’s Disobedience – What Happens Now.
- Abraham – God’s Friend
- The question of Law and Grace, or maybe, Law or Grace?
- The reason Jesus is called “The Last Adam” and not “The Second Adam”?
- The mystery that Paul the Apostle presents; Christ, the Church, the Bride, and how all this is explained in the mystery of One Flesh and One in Christ.
- There is a single thread throughout the entire scriptures that clearly demonstrates there is one condition or requirement for all Mankind, from Adam to the last Man standing that gives access to “Eternal Life”. What is it?
If these thoughts and questions have given you a desire to know more then you will find the following discourse very exciting. The format will be to state the basic case for the point in question and then to drill down to the fundamentals of each case.
To do this efficiently links will be inserted to expand a thought so that the explanation does not interfere with the thought itself.
This is something that I see Paul the Apostle had trouble doing in trying to unwrap truths he was trying to express. His long unwieldy sentences try to contain all the information that is needed to fully understand the point he is attempting to make.
I think it is this that makes what he wrote difficult to understand as he is trying to share his thoughts with us.
