Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a newborn child is born into the world the parents assume that the newborn is pure and innocent. The parents are filled with joy at the newborn's arrival. How pure and innocent the child appear to our natural mind. However looks are deceiving as in such cases. David, the Psalmist realized this truth, that although the newborn child appear to be pure and innocent, the truth is, the child is not! The bible paints an entirely different picture, in that, the child is born a sinner, spiritually dead on arrival with the fallen nature of Adam! The bible declare, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" When looking in the natural realm, it will appear that humans were "born to die!" When looking in the spiritual realm one finds that death was not God's plan for humans. Had Adam and Eve taken of the tree of life, which was also in the midst of the garden of Eden they would have lived without ever dying: the tree of life was one of the trees in the garden that God did not forbid them to eat of. It was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that was forbidden. Immediately, upon eating of the forbidden fruit, sin entered the spirit of their minds, corrupting the image of God in them, their minds became twisted, hostile towards God: death is the penalty for sin! It is why humans die, yes, even the newborn child is born with an automatic death sentence as a descendant of Adam! This is why David declared, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me (Psalm-51:5)! David realized that he was "fearfully and wonderfully made," yet he acknowledged his sinful nature from the moment of conception! In eternity past, God predestined the lives of all humans in general, who have been born into this world, even prior to their conception. God said of Rebecca's twins (Jacob and Esau) before either had been born or had did neither good or evil, that the elder child would serve the younger for he said, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." This was so that the predestined will of God's purpose according to God's choice would stand! What God predestined in eternity past God created in time: and in "time," the hands of divine providence, executes exactly, what God predestined in eternity past, prior to creation! Everything that God created serves God's purpose, be it evil (Pharaoh) or be it good (Moses)! God is in control of his entire creation, and direct the thing created to its end for which the thing was created, not a bird fall from the sky without his knowledge! God according to the bible have predestined some to eternal salvation, yet others, to eternal damnation, as all men have not faith! This book, inspired of God will open your eyes to the truth of God's word, and will help you understand God's predestined will, and divine providence! Until these two significant doctrines (teachings) are comprehended, you will never comprehend God! Scripture declare, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die:" yet in another place the question is asked, "Why die before your time?" These verses deal with predestination, and divine providence. This book, will help you really come to see, and to know God Almighty in a way that you never have before, and will draw you closer to him! As the newborn child on the cover of this book, is born into the world (into time) the child, like you and I isn't here (in time) to stay! God, have brought us from eternity past, placed us into time, taking us back into eternity by means of death; different ways but identical results, in that, by some means, we die! We have from the time of birth, to adulthood, to death in which one must be "reconciled to God" through Christ, by God's Spirit in us, that we put to death, the sinful nature of Adam, becoming partakers of God's divine nature! Jesus said it this way,"Ye must be born again!"
