Believer s bible book

This book, which is the first in a series of fourteen books, presents the way to enter into a perfect communion with God through salvation in Jesus Christ. In this book, Professor Z.T. Fomum discusses the reasons for the fall of man and man's attempts to come out of the old creation where death and sin reign. He puts forth God's way out of the old creation, paving the way for a new life in Jesus Christ. In this book, you will also find spiritual guidance to establish the believer in the assurance of his salvation and terminating with his dark past. The author also discusses in depth the main points of biblical doctrine: repentance, faith in God, reconciliation, adoption, redemption, justification, heavenly citizenship, and others. The book is deep and powerful, inducing to action through the myriad questions the reader or student of the Bible must answer.

The contents of this book are fundamental. God calls all who are his to a sanctified life. The life of a believer in which sin reigns is subnormal. Howe­ver, many believers find themselves bound by sin. They are like Lazarus walking out of the tomb with life, but in bonda­ge. In this book, we have attempted to show as clearly as we can, the way to deliverance from sin. We do not believe that anyone can be as sinless as the Lord Jesus was while in this body of flesh, but this state is already accomplished in the Lord Jesus and therefore, we can be delivered once and for all from the bond­age of sin. We also see that this deli­verance, though entered into as a crisis, must be maintained daily by a very close walk with the Lord, in full co-operation with him, by the use of the sanctified mind. The Psalmist asked, “How can a young man keep his way pure?” He provided the answer as follows, “By guarding it accor­ding to thy word. With my whole heart I seek thee, let me not wan­der from thy commandment! I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed be thou, O Lord; teach me thy statutes! With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth. In the way of thy testi­monies I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on thy precepts, and fix my eyes on thy ways. I will delight in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word” (Psalm 119:9-16). We believe with him that daily Bible study and prayer (The Quiet Time) is indispensable in maintaining the sanctified life which is first entered into by faith in the finished work of Christ. Holiness is not just the absence of sin. It includes conformity to God. Sanctification is an aspect of holiness. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this book to work out sanctifica­tion in many lives and that many will attain unto “the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

The purpose of this book is to get you to possess Christ and, in turn, let Him possess you totally so that you can see the power of God working powerfully for the glory of Christ. God's ultimate goal is for the church to manifest and release His full and total power. All of this power is at work today in the Person of the Holy Spirit inhabiting the spirit of man, giving the believer the opportunity to manifest this power in an extraordinary way. The burden of Professor Fomum in this book is to show that beyond the fact that the power of God can manifestly spread through channels such as discipline, speech, holiness, gifts of power, etc., we must fix our eyes on Jesus, because He is the fullness of the deity.

It was said of one preacher that he was as evangelistic as an angel but twice as wicked as the devil. This is most tragic. Christian character is all-important. The Lord is deeply concerned about character. It is His primary purpose that those who know Him should be like Him in the content of their character. He has put the Holy Spirit in each believer to work that character out. Only those whose character conforms in every way to that of the Lord Jesus can be said to be truly entirely sanctified. If a person's life does not resemble that of the Lord Jesus, his service for Him will not mean much. There are many who talk about the Lord today and even attempt to serve Him, but their character speaks against what their lips proclaim. It was said of one preacher that he was as evangelistic as an angel but twice as wicked as the devil. This is most tragic. It is the purpose of GOD that the gospel that is preached by the lips, and the gospel preached by character (by life) should become the one Gospel, a presentation of the Lord of glory. This book is about the character of Christ in the life of the Christian. It is sent out with prayer that the Almighty Father should use it to work out the character of His begotten Son in His adopted sons.
