Foundation work is necessary for every believer to become an authentic follower of Christ and remain steadfast during the trials of life. Contrary to popular belief, following Christ involves more than a decision-it is a call to serve God in love, loyalty, and radical commitment. The goal is transformation and living in wholehearted devotion to God. A biblical foundation requires growth in the knowledge of God and commitment to walk out that knowledge in spirit and truth. This forms the basis for the bondservant identity. A heart postured to serve God out of love and loyalty leads to unity within the believing community and friendship with God. From this place of friendship, God reveals His prophetic plans to prepare His people for what lies ahead. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes relationship with God and the development of a genuine walk of faith in Christ grounded in the Word. The author explores foundational topics with application for the believer's life so the believer can operate in faith founded on truth. With careful scholarship, the author addresses controversial matters and difficult passages with insight and the goal of promoting unity. While volumes have been written about each topic in this book, the reader will find the answers needed to build a solid foundation based on the Word in this one comprehensive work. From this foundation, love and unity can flourish, and the door to understanding prophecy can be opened in the timing and purpose of God. The Bondservant's Life will fuel your desire to go deeper in relationship with God, broaden your view of God's Word, provoke you to examine your faith, and challenge your understanding of true community among believers.
