Dear Sir,
Compliment of the day to you and May the peace of the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you , Stephen , I want you to know that I want was arrested on Drug related offense on 15-12-2005 at the Karachi International Airport as I was about to board my flight back to Africa and since then I have been in Prison here in Karachi .
Stephen , since I became a man I have been running away from God, I never go to Church , I was the type that thinks that I can do everything on my own power, until I got myself into this problem.
I have finished the first book, titled: Have you truly been born again of water and the spirit? In fact the book is a book every Christian must read ,because it is the work of God, it has so much accomplishment on my life and to me is the astonishing discovery of the mystery of deliverance visited me while reading this book. I came to understand that Jesus Christ through his baptism in a just manner fulfilled all righteousness for all mankind, because Jesus Christ took on all the sins of mankind through his baptism of water and the Spirit.
Also I understand that we cannot be redeemed before God Just by believing in Jesus death on the cross only, or believing in that our Good deeds will get us salvation. Another thing in that we should never set the standards of sin upon our own consciences are not in accord with what God has defined as sin.
Therefore we should not listen to our consciences, but rather base the standards of sin ob God’s commandments. Again, to fail to live by God will is a sin before God , it is the same as not believing in his word , our faith should start with God’s word and we should believe in him through his word, if not, we will fall into error that would be the wrong and untrue faith. We also should be very careful of what comes out of our mouth, because that defiles a man, for from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries fornications, murders, wickedness, blasphemy, pride and foolishness, all these evil things come from within heart and defile a man and here God is telling us that even though we have adultery murder and wickedness in us we should not commit them
The most important aspects of this book is where he talk about denominations. I think that many denominations are convinced of salvation in their beliefs and many people think that the baptism of Jesus is merely a Dogma of a Christian community, but it is not true.
Among the books that I have read , I have not been able to find any book about salvation that specifies the relationship between the redemption in the baptism and blood of Jesus and God’s Salvation.
I have a Pakistani Friend here in Prison jail he is a Muslim one day I was preaching the True Gospel to him I ask him do you believe in Jesus as a Muslim he said Yes, and I ask him what are the works Jesus came and did for all mankind? He could not answer, because he didn’t know. But that day I let him to understand the reason why Jesus came and also that the difference between the Christians and muslims are that Christian are life carrying but muslim are not .
Now I stop here til hear from you again soon with new edition of Rev Paul C Jong Christian books
God Bless you and bye ,
