In Genesis, we encounter the same Jesus that Abraham met. As a result, we've received the remission of sins and experienced being born again. Through our belief in the Gospel of Truth, we've transformed into righteous individuals, the holy saints with circumcised hearts, and as such, we are God's children, blessed with eternal life. By walking alongside God throughout our lives, we too can bask in the rapture's glory, mirroring Enoch's experience. As God proclaimed, "The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth" (Genesis 8:21). In response, we should set aside our own perceptions, placing trust in and adhering to God's Word. Such genuine faith truly pleases Him. Among believers, two distinct groups emerge: those solely devoted to God, and those who balance their worship between God and idols. The former group's faith lies in the God of Abraham, while the latter places trust in the God of Nahor. It's worth noting that Nahor's lineage revered both the teraphim and God. In present times, numerous Christians find themselves serving both God and wealth. Such a faith, aligned with the God of Nahor, can be termed as a pseudo-belief. Abraham pursued the Word, undeterred by uncertainties of his path. It's my genuine wish for each of us to lead lives of faith, reminiscent of Abraham, which resonate with God's pleasure.

Today, there are many people who go on with their lives not even knowing what sin is, what righteousness is, and what judgment is all about. Even those who go to church don’t have assurance of salvation, and they live secular lives—just like everyone else in the world. Furthermore, they do not lead Christian lives that are righteous according to God, but righteous according to what they think is righteous. So Concerning Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment is the first book of the Holiness and Power sermon series which deals with how we can lead a successful Christian life by receiving forgiveness for our sins and by accomplishing the righteousness of God in our lives.

Just after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E., there lived a poor and ugly nail-maker who was also, for a time, the leading rabbi of his generation. His name was Joshua ben Hananiah, and he helped give us the Judaism we know--the complicated, word-filled tradition of debates, multiple viewpoints, and endless questions. Through his humanity, humility, and occasional audacity, Joshua helped set Judaism on its course towards becoming the decentralized, multi-opinionated, exile-surviving, other-religion-respecting, pragmatic-yet-altruistic, wounded-yet-hopeful religion that it is at its best. And yet, inside and outside the Jewish community, few people know about him. This book wants to change that. In these pages, people of all faiths or backgrounds will find accessible and vivid translations of some of the most stunning stories in the Talmud and in Midrash. Rabbi Maurice Harris is a friendly guide through the texts and dramas of early rabbinic Judaism, providing general audiences with clear and compelling explanations of complex narratives, legal issues, and historical contexts. Venture inside this book and discover Rabbi Joshua ben Hananiah, one of the bravest and humblest heroes you'll ever meet in sacred literature.

Lots of people claim to be Christians but few practice what Christianity demands, the pages of this book make the path of least resistance to define who is a Christian. The Christian life is an extraordinary lifestyle, which denotes that Christians are not supposed to live unchecked or freely like every other person. In our world where every individual is the master of his life, and morality and spirituality streaming to the drain without temerity left with Christianity to bring back weak Christians to its fold, this book gives guidelines on how Christians should contain themselves. It also plays up the cheap grace myriad of Christians lean upon for their salvation, and what true repentance means to the Christian faith. It also exposes the underlying greed behind the preaching of tithing, and also the people that merit the spiritual right to receive tithes.

"Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, He cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). To be born again and enter into eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven is the reason and purpose that we believe in Jesus. Those who consider themselves righteous, those who claim to be just, will never be born again. Who then can be born again? They are those who realize themselves honestly that they are terrible sinners before the Law of God, saying, "O wretched man I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (Romans 7:24). Those who have no righteousness of their own can meet Jesus Christ "who came by water and blood" (1 John 5:6). In other words, only the poor in spirit receive "the remission of their sins" (Luke 1:77) by faith. However, the problem is that there are many modern-version of Pharisees among Christians today. They pretend to be holy even though their hearts are full of sin. They do not honestly admit that "I am a sinner who deserves to go to hell." "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). If you have any little bit of sin in your heart, you can never enter the Kingdom of God but fall into Hellfire. Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "Are we blind also?" Jesus answered to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore, your sin remains" (John 9:41). Those who sincerely admit that they are spiritually blind can meet the Gospel of truth and be born again by wearing the righteousness of God. I earnestly hope that all of you will acknowledge the Original Gospel and reach the glory of the children of God while you read the Bible for 50 days. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it" (Matthew 13:45-46). Once you've met the real thing, you've got to throw away all the imitations. When you encounter the Original Gospel likened to a pearl of great price, throw away all the "other gospels" you have believed so far. And hold fast the genuine Gospel with joy until you reach the Kingdom of Heaven.

Warren Smith examines the neglected biblical, liturgical and theological foundations of Ambrose's thought on ethics. Earlier studies have found little that was distinctively Christian in Ambrose's image of the virtuous person. Smith shows that, although like the pagans he emphasized moderation, courage, justice, and prudence, for Ambrose these characteristics were shaped by the church's beliefs about God's salvific economy.
