Book Description
“The life of a Christian is stamped by a strong family likeness to Jesus,” says Oswald Chambers. But what does it look like for Christians to bear this “family likeness”? In Bringing Sons unto Glory, Chambers examines the four Gospel accounts to draw a portrait of Jesus Christ, asking what exactly His bodily incarnation means for us today. When we gaze on His sacred personality, we can, as the apostle Peter writes, participate in his divine nature—and understand more clearly the life of discipleship.

Book Description
The title of this book, "Bringing Many Sons to Glory," is a direct quote from the Bible (Hebrews 2:10). The quote sums up what Jesus is all about-why he came, what he preached, why he died, and what he is up to now. Yet, churches and individual believers often hold tenaciously to two views at odds with that quote. First, they think God will bring few rather than many sons to glory. Second, they think most humans will end up in hell, a place of eternal shame and pain, not glory. What are we to do with these conflicting views? The gospel, which means "good news," fits with bringing many sons to glory, but the shame and pain message is an asterisk gospel: "Jesus saves . . . *but most people will still be lost." That is devastatingly bad news since it damns so many and damns them so horribly. It also makes God look mean rather than loving. Why do people cling to such bad news? One reason is that they think the Bible teaches it and therefore they must accept it by faith. "Bringing Many Sons to Glory" looks at Bible passages relevant to both sides of the question. Sometimes this involves observing a distinction between related but different words in Bible text, such as the Greek krisis, krima, and krino, all of which are translated judgment but usually relate respectively to a trial, a verdict, and a sentence. There is a great difference between being on trial, being convicted, and being sentenced for a crime, but in English each one may be called a judgment. "Bringing Many Sons to Glory" shows how this one biblical teaching (about judgment), resolves much of the conflict over man's final destiny. Other passages and teachings also shed light without turning the book into a difficult theological treatise or an intricate word study of the type produced by and intended for professionals. In just under 200 easy-to-read pages, the author brings the Bible and common sense together to defend God's goodness and offer realistic hope to all who seek it. An alphabetical index enables the reader to quickly access 136 related topics, from "age of accountability" and "annihilation" to "reconciliation" and "wrath of God." A second index lists 210 Bible references and indicates the page numbers where they are applied to the "many-sons-to-glory" concept. A unique feature of this book is its "Prospectus." On the page facing the Table of Contents, the prospectus lists eight questions related to human destiny and indicates pages where each is discussed. For example, Question 1 is "Will evil exist in some form eternally or will it disappear from the universe completely?" (See pages 44, 100-102, 106, 169-170, 174-176.) Baldwin, 20 years a pastor of evangelical churches and a prolific author, traces his own journey from a troubling asterisk gospel to what the Christmas angel called "good news of great joy that will be for all the people." In "Bringing Many Sons to Glory," Baldwin says that God, who is love, is also wise enough and powerful enough and good enough and big enough to ensure that glory becomes the final destination of many sons and daughters, including some we think least likely to be there.

GOD IS BRINGING SONS TO GLORY Bringing Sons to Glory is intended to help believers realize who they are in Christ and challenge them to "forsake all" and follow Him. In this volume, you will be challenged, humbled, elated and in awe at the price which was paid for your redemption and the glory to which you are called. In Bringing Sons to Glory, you will find answers to questions such as: - Why did God create man fallible - Why does a sovereign God allow suffering and sorrow - Why is Satan allowed on earth - How do believers overcome - Why must Jesus reign on earth - Can believers live holy lives in this world - Why does the Bible say God loves the world and yet command believers not to love the world

Book Description
The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Book Description
You might be surprised to find that God is not a trinity. The Trinity is one of mainstream Christianity’s most widely accepted and revered doctrines held by millions of Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox believers. The belief that God is three persons—the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—coexisting in one being is how the trinity doctrine is often defined. But the word trinity appears nowhere within the pages of the Bible. You can not cling to long-held religious traditions if they contradict the Scriptures. Your beliefs must rest solidly on the teachings of the Holy Bible. This Bible Study aid, "Is God a Trinity?", goes into great detail explaning the non-biblical origins of the trinity and how this false gospel replaced the true teachings of Jesus Christ. Discover how the Bible communicates a true picture of God and learn about the awesome plan He has promised for you and all mankind.

But this is definitely not the case." "Many historians and religious scholars, some quoted in this publication, attest to the influence of Greek or Platonic philosophy in the development and acceptance of the Trinity doctrine in the fourth century." God the Father is the One who calls us to baptism and a new way of life (John 6:44, 65), and it is His goodness that leads us to repentance and baptism (Romans 2:4). "As even the New Catholic Encyclopedia, quoted from earlier, acknowledges: “The majority of New Testament texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God..."

Book Description
Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Book Description
The compilation of verses from King James Version Bible reveal God's instructions to the prophets to write down His words. God has always made certain that His word must be remembered by all generations. The Scriptures explain how God implements His single plan of bringing many sons into glory in the last days. By God's grace, this is the greatest hope of the children of God to reign with Christ in His kingdom to come. They shall be joined together with the angels to become the household of God. LORD Jesus Christ will be the King of all kings and LORD of all hosts in the kingdom of God called, the city of New Jerusalem.. God has actually commenced this divine plan before the beginning of time through predestination, creation, the demystification of His Godliness, and through the anointment of the deliverers to preserve His chosen.. Lastly, He sent the Redeemer who died on the cross for the atonement of sin and and for the purification of soul of the chosen. After Christ's resurrection, He sent the Comforter to sanctify the followers of Christ both the Jews and Gentiles to bless them with spiritual blessings through His grace. Through the blood of Christ, all curses of the law and ordinances of Israel in the old agreement were nailed down on the cross giving way to a new agreement with the Jews, the New Testament and New Covenant that includes the Gentiles as well. In the last days, the angels shall gather the elects together with Christ in the cloud to deliver them from the wrath of God. The day of great trouble shall come to earth before and during the second coming of Christ preceding the establishing of the millennial kingdom. The Day of judgment follows after the thousand-year reign of Christ. All the saved shall be resurrected from the dead and God will give them a new glorious bodies with life everlasting. The children of God shall enter in God's kingdom, the city of New Jerusalem and finally, as it was written in the book of Revelation 22: 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: Amen.
