Preface

This book exists to show the student (both the disciple of Christ and the seeker) the WhoWhatWhenWhere, and Why of our existence in this creation, with biblical agreement. It presents a total worldview that persists in the face of attack from secular science, religion, unseen spirits, and even self.

The apostle Peter told us that when we have suffered physically for the gospel, we are finished with sin (1 Peter 4). “So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.” (1-3, NLT)

In my own experience, this shows as knowing God is with me no matter how bad things (attacks) get. Sin is suffering. It tears at the soul. But there is no depth to which I can fall where my Lord is not there, willing to restore me and bring me back to Him. I only need repent, worship, and receive His presence and great love for me. 

This is not strictly being burned at the stake or beaten and left for dead for the faith. It is the human condition finding the bottom and still seeing God—then not returning to the depths after being lifted out. 

By the end of this book, the student will be able to follow Peter’s instruction to be ready to give an answer about the hope they have within them—with gentleness and respect—and know what life is about. (1 Peter 3:15)
