Children frequently and loudly proclaim that events or decisions are unfair. Their value system is immature and blind to many of the realities of life and balanced decision making. Likewise, many adults see Christian principles as unfair or unacceptable, with many Christians themselves wrestling over scriptural principles they find 'old fashioned' or too painful to contemplate. The simple reality is that God has always elevated the common good, higher than our personal ambitions, because his values include many aspects of life and death that the human race is totally incapable of considering. The following verses give a simple but balanced approach that reveal why God’s priorities may differ from ours.

Every human birth is the result of a fertilized egg comprised of both male and female genes developing to maturity. The unique gene combination determines almost every aspect of your physical makeup... skin, hair and eye colour, facial features, body shape, potential life span, etc. Not only do you inherit a mixed combination of genetic strengths and weaknesses of your parents; you also are shaped emotionally and intellectually by their input during your developing years (this determines your character and values you will exercise as an adult). In normal circumstances, you will also benefit from the acquired wealth and experience of your parents and will ultimately receive your share of their life's work... this is your inheritance.

A genuine and healthy fear of God, coupled with the anointing of the Spirit, is essential for salvation. It is also vital for overcoming the various temptations of this life. While many focus on 'love', they overlook the fact that a good relationship with God, is impossible without understanding the value of fear. A healthy respect for the Lord develops the true and effective love, which God describes. Fear is the attitudinal foundation upon which salvation can be built; this is the solid basis upon which true Godly love functions. We are reminded that the battle of life is only resolved, when death is defeated... this should be the primary commitment of all humans... anything less, is to be greatly feared.

Most people would be stunned in disbelief if they comprehended what God was freely offering them. In a world that has been dumbed down by spiritual corruption and extraverted pleasure seeking; it is left to God's faithful workers to spread the fabulous news of the true gospel. This is certainly not a recent problem for God.

We have clearly seen that faulty church doctrine, ignorance, rebellion and a host of religious failings, have left most people totally ignorant of what Jesus Christ represented and why he came and died as a perfect sacrifice for the human race. God resolved all of these human failings by filling people with the Holy Spirit with signs following, so they need not get caught out through deceit or ignorance. This summary reveals many of the mysteries that have confused generations of worshippers.

There is one very sad reason for the ignorance that surrounds Jesus Christ. Many religious and political leaders have done their best over the last 2000 years to limit or deny the true power that Christ made available to the human race. Even today, there are continuous attacks on Christian values with many religious leaders compromised towards humanist and social engineering. The following scriptures clearly reveal, how insidious some people with power over others, tend to be. Jesus was sent to free the world from sin and to encourage people to be led of the Spirit... not men.

We have already seen (part 1), the great confusion that surrounded the life and purpose of Jesus Christ… even by his closest friends and disciples. Ignorance of God's truths often lead people to reject the word of the Lord, just as Adam and Eve rejected good advice in the beginning. The gospel is a mystery to many, because they fail to grasp all the implications of Christ's sacrifice and the essential need to be anointed by the ensuing Holy Spirit. The following notes reveal the very real ignorance towards Christ, despite many positive proofs and scriptural facts offered by God.

This is the first of four presentations that reveal the real purpose why Jesus Christ exists and the God given benefits that the human race can expect to receive from him. This overview reveals the high levels of ignorance relating to Jesus Christ and the contents of his gospel. We will see that nothing has changed... not even today.

Our church has never been ashamed of the greatest scriptural, yet controversial truth, which reveals God's real intentions for the human race. Nor are we afraid to remain faithful to the controversial gospel message of repentance, water baptism and spirit baptism = salvation. Many are falling victim to the pressures of 'Political Correctness' and are more interested in promoting short-sighted religious/social issues, rather than spiritually beneficial truths.

The Bible is much more than a religious book of writings... it is the inspired thoughts and directions of God in written format. It is available to all, not just a select group. Better still, it works for all those who apply its directions.
