God's Love Mystery


Book Description

God's love mystery is the most precious gift that can be given to mankind. God created within every human heart a basic yearning for an eternal life filled with freedom, joy, peace and love. This desire can only be satisfied by its Creator. In this book you will explore the secrets of God's love mystery. You will learn why the vast majority of mankind has never heard of them. You will see how and why most Christians soon after the first century lost most of their understanding of the secrets of the God's love mystery only to be replaced with self-righteous legalism. In short legalism is "do this in order to get that." With increasing legalism over the centuries the freedom, joy, love, and peace that God's love mystery offers was proportionately lost. Although those who accepted Jesus Christ as their savior gained eternal life, their ability to truly rest in the Lord was increasingly limited. Even today, many Christians live unhappy lives suffering needless guilt, fear, doubt, and many other destructive emotions. Many wonder why this is so and how is it that the apostle Paul was able to say while confined in prison that "I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances" (Phil. 4:11. BSB). The answer lies in the understanding Paul had concerning the secrets of God's love mystery. Today, there are thousands of various Christian denominations around the world. They also have just as many differing doctrines and ideas on how God wants to be worshipped. You will explore in this book the answer to why God would allow His Body to become so confused and divided losing many secrets to "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, [which] will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:7, BSB). It looks at the major factions dividing Christians today and their various beliefs from the full spectrum of ultra-legalism through to Universalism (aka Inclusionism) which teaches everyone is eternally saved with or without Jesus Christ. The secrets of God's love mystery lies in the middle of these two extremes. God said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6 WEB). Many Christians today suffer needlessly due to a lack of knowledge concerning God's love mystery. For instance, many believe they are saved by the blood of Jesus, yet believe they face the possibility of eternal hell fire for some unrepentant sin if they should die unexpectedly. In this book you will look at the devastation these vain "Christian" beliefs have inflicted on the lives of countless saints over the last two thousand years. God's word says, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love" (1 John 4:18 BSB). God's love mystery can help to finally set you on the right track to begin breaking free from the satanic chains of fear, confusion, doubt, and unhappiness you are experiencing. The more you understand and believe in the secrets of God's love mystery, you will increasingly enjoy the eternal freedom, love, joy, and peace that God put in your heart to desire so deeply.




The Mystery of God


Book Description

How can I know God if he is incomprehensible? Is it possible to know God in a way that takes seriously the fact that he is beyond knowledge? Steven Boyer and Christopher Hall argue that the "mystery of God" has a rightful place in theological discourse. They contend that considering divine incomprehensibility invites reverence and humility in our thinking and living as Christians and clarifies a variety of theological topics. The authors begin by investigating the biblical, historical, and practical foundations for understanding the mystery of God. They then spell out its implications for theological issues and practices such as the incarnation, salvation, and prayer, rooting knowledge of God in a concrete life of faith. Evangelical yet ecumenical, this book will appeal to theology students, pastors, church leaders, and all who want intellectual and practical guidance for knowing the unknowable God.

Once every generation comes a book so revelatory and lucid, it reconnects us to our very souls. God and Love on Route 80 is such a book. Stephen G. Post was the perfect child and A-student until he took off in the family car, compelled by a persistent vision, his “blue angel dream.” Crossing America on Route 80, his unlikely adventure culminates in a shocking encounter that sets the stage for the rest of his life, a path connected by synchronicities which Post perceived as guidance from God and proof of humanity’s fundamental oneness, Infinite Mind.

The Mystery of God's Will


Book Description

"I don't think I've ever met anyone who hasn't struggled with the desire to know God's will. The problem is, this struggle often involved a great deal of confusion and worry." ?Chuck Swindoll Many people have the idea that if they could just somehow find that single planned direction, they would be effortlessly swept through life. But life is not like that. Probably the most misunderstood factor of discovering God's will is the thought that, If I do this, the struggles will end, the questions are over, the answers come, and I live hapily ever after. But that's not reality. Does that mean that God's will must remain opaque to us?that we must muddle and grope blindly through life with no clue to what He wants for us? "Not at all," says Charles Swindoll. In this groundbreaking book, Swindoll invites us to join him on a spiritual quest. "I believe God's will for us in this life is not some black-and-white objective designed to take us to an appointed destination here on earth as much as it is about the journey itself . . . and what matters to Him in our lives." The Mystery of God's Will overflows with practical insights, humor, and unforgettable stories that will de-mystify, clarify, and put your mind at ease.

God is Love


Book Description

"God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him" (1 John 4:16). In this famous passage, St. John expresses the heart of the Christian faith and the essence of the Christian image of God. In the same verse, he also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: "We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us." In God Is Love, Anthony Kelly, CSSR, takes this phrase as a concise and profound expression and unpacks it for thinking Christians today. He explores seven ideas that are necessarily implied in the love that God is-the Trinitarian terms, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the cross and resurrection as events within the paschal mystery; the church as the revelation of God's love being worked out in history; and finally, the ultimate hope for eternal life and heaven itself.




The Mystery of God and Suffering


Book Description

Humans have long searched for an adequate answer to an age-old question: If God is good, why do we suffer? An entire book of the Bible, Job, is dedicated to the problem of God and human suffering. Theologians across continents and centuries have debated the intricacies, inconsistencies, and assumptions the question elicits. And of course, many have turned to Jesus's own suffering, and his horrible death at the cross, in search of understanding. All too often, the resulting approaches to the mystery of suffering, though linked to the Jewish and Christian Scriptures and traditions, fail to satisfy contemporary hearts and minds. The Mystery of God and Suffering draws guidance from the Gospel of John and the letters to the Colossians and the Ephesians, and focuses on God's overflowing love in creation as a foundation for understanding Jesus's death and its implications for those who follow him. This work offers an alternative vision, one emphasizing incarnation over atonement, for all those who find themselves uneasy or even oppressed by the notion of a vindictive God who demands the suffering and death of his son. The Mystery of God and Suffering also speaks to a larger audience, comprised of all those who suffer and search for meaning in their suffering. With a focus on the eternal concepts of life and love that are not simply integral to but inseparable from a God who is good, as well as on insights of believers through the ages, The Mystery of God and Suffering offers wise guidance for our journey into the abyss of suffering.
