One of the first things we must come to realize when we are born-again is that the Bible is not just an ordinary book, filled with ordinary words, written to an ordinary people. God's Word is active and alive and has the power to completely transform your way of thinking if you will allow it to do so. It can give you great hope in the middle of despair, wonderful joy in place of your sorrow, peace in the midst of turmoil. All you have to do is cooperate with it.The number one cause for any Christian's failure to succeed in life is their never coming to an understanding of just who we are in Christ and what He expects of us. That understanding can only come from a diligent study of God's Word, where Christ can make Himself, His ways and His plans known to us. The purpose for this book is to bring understanding to you of why and how these principles work so that you will believe them and begin to act on them.
