Synopsis

This book explores the differing views between traditional Christianity and other religions, and the historical context in which those views formed. The author argues that, unlike other teachings, Christ's message was particularly significant because He came to call sinners and save the lost rather than the righteous and holy. This invitation involves Christian followers acknowledging their sinful nature and accepting salvation through Christ. Obedience must follow love, and love is the cause, not the effect, of obedience. Christ's followers must love even their enemies, and may only condemn sin, not sinners. Christ is the light of the world, and His followers are to reflect His light in a dark world, which is possible through the light He imparts. While Christians are not to be taken out of the world, they are to be kept from the evil in it, and they can overcome the world just as Christ did. They are to resist temptation with God's help, and the presence of the Holy Spirit can help them avoid sin. Christ's blood can soothe the accusing conscience and offer true self-mastery, and He is the personal answer to the question of what humanity seeks. This book offers a unique examination of Christ's teachings, with the potential to transform human lives.
