It has been said that the gospel is such a simple message that even the very young can understand it, but so profound that the most learned theologians can never reveal the depths of its riches. Although the gospel is easy to understand, many opposing views exist because eternal salvation seems far-fetched, and salvation as a gift from God seems unimaginable. The gospel answers these paradoxical questions: How can an unholy person become holy and how can a fallen creature have fellowship with a holy God?

These transformations seem impossible, but the Bible says that “with God all things are possible.” Sadly, the truth of the gospel is rejected by many persons. They cannot reconcile their image of a loving God with the idea of a just God's eternal condemnation of unforgiven sinners. Regardless, without an Almighty pardon for sin, the sinner stands eternally condemned without hope.

Freedom's Ring is a must-read book discussing Christ's work, which, if accepted through faith, changes a person's life for all eternity. This book illustrates the greatest message ever told, the greatest theme in history, and the greatest work ever performed, by the greatest Person who ever lived. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid the penalty for sin by shedding His precious blood on the cross of Calvary. Only God could devise such a remarkable plan of redemption. This book shows you why and how God Himself became the sacrificial Lamb and remains the only hope for humanity.

The Apostle Paul’s encounter with the Saviour on the road to Damascus forever changed his life. From that point forward, his efforts concerning the lost were directed toward one thing—the salvation of souls. This insatiable desire to see others saved even led him to wish that he could be cursed if this would bring others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. His fervency should drop every Christian to his knees in prayer for that type of zeal!

History of Mankind and the Passion

The Bible reveals that man was the direct creation of the all-powerful, all-knowing and benevolent God of the universe. Yet, after the Lord God created man and placed him in a perfect environment, He watched with broken heart as this wonderful creation—endowed with intellect, emotion and choice—consciously rebelled against his Creator. This rebellion caused mankind to surrender his state of sinless innocence and plummet into a sinful state of rebellion that continues to this day.

As a result of this loss of innocence, mankind was plunged into a hopeless and helpless state of despair and degradation, facing the inevitable outcome of disobedience—death and separation from God. So began the course of human history—a sorry novel of every kind of wickedness imaginable.
