This book is not a gentle suggestion, but rather a strong encouragement for all those of us that would consider ourselves to be dedicated followers of Jesus Christ, to this goal only, that a sincere love for Him becomes deeply embedded into our hearts. This alone is the core of the Good News, out of which all of true Christianity flows, from God who is not only loving, but is essentially LOVE itself.
Without this we will inevitably only produce yet more religion, and in so doing convince no one, that He alone has answers for all the pain, greed, anger and despair that flows around in our society.
It was Jesus Himself that declared that His mission was to bring an abundance and fulness into people’s lives as God had created and intended it to be. Only people who are daily living that out in their families, communities and working environments can genuinely call themselves “Christ Ones” (Christians) as they were once mockingly described.
Jesus also said: “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your moral excellence, and your praiseworthy, noble and good works and (will) honour, praise and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.” Matt 5:16 AMP Please notice: Firstly your “light” needs to be seen, before your “good works”.
