Excerpts from the Book

There was a time when the theological discourse was most prominent in the writings of the men of God, and we have suffered much as a result of its disappearance. This was particularly appropriate in the days of our Puritan writers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

It used to be in the heart of the men of God to spend their entire lifetime moving in and out among the fundamentals of the great historic Christian Faith. Reinforcing these great truths with great connecting links between each of the fundamental truths, there was formed a total fabric of a one-cloth truth that would lead the Christians through all the various compartments of life. This fabric of truth wore well in better days. However, in our time, we crave the little truth, the Christian calendar text-for-the-busy-day. We swallow a devotional book to comfort our religious daily duty, but we begin to starve for God. Not believing we are really starving for God and hungering for a deeper faith, we fall back on trivia and religious entertainment, thinking “Jesus” in any form is Jesus in the singular form, all The Holy Scriptures.

This book will be useless to the reader unless we establish quickly where the study of the human spirit must lead us. Anything known about a creature who is human commences in the fall of man. At the other end of the revealed Word of God lies the redemption of man by the free grace of God as set forth in the Cross of Calvary where Christ Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures (I Cor. 15:3).

Therefore, we may view man—the human spirit—in the fall or in the Cross. We begin this unpretentious book with man in creation and the fall, as well as in the Cross and redemption.
