    The Road to Eternal Life

    The publisher offers this ebook for free at ucg.org/booklet/road-eternal-life Do you believe in many roads to salvation? When you think about establishing a relationship with God, what comes to mind? Do you know what the Bible reveals on this subject? Notice what Jesus Christ Himself has to say: “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44) God starts this relationship process and you must choose to accept or reject His calling when offered. If you accept, you have a definite process to follow that He clearly reveals in the Bible. What is that process? 1) After God calls you, repentance is the starting point in your relationship with Him. Without repentance, you are cut off from God. 2) After you repent, your next step is water baptism, a primary principle of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 6:1-2). 3) The next step on your road to eternal life is to receive God’s Holy Spirit, which comes through “laying on of hands,” as described in Hebrews 6:2. If God is calling you, will you respond? Inside the Bible Study aid ebook, The Road to Eternal Life, we will examine the Scriptures and look at the steps you must take to respond to God’s calling. Start your journey on the only road to eternal life and be part of the awesome future God has planned for you! Chapters in this ebook: — Introduction: The Road to Eternal Life— Repentance: Your First Step— Jesus and His Apostles Affirm the Need to Obey God’s Commandments— Grace, Works and Obedience— The Crucial Role of Faith— Water Baptism and Laying On of Hands— Should Children Be Baptized— Should We Want to Be Baptized With Fire?— Forgiveness of Sin— Staying the Course— We’re Baptized Into a Spiritual Body Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook: “The Bible describes repentance as a profound realization of our sins and resulting sorrow that leads us to change our thoughts and actions (2 Corinthians 7:10).” “To some, the change God wants in us can appear so overwhelming that repentance and conversion to God’s way of thinking seem impossible. And that’s the point. Without God’s help, they are impossible!” “Overcoming our habitual sins and selfish nature does not happen instantly. It is a lifelong process, often involving great effort.” “The symbolic meaning of baptism, then, is profound. It represents both forgiveness of sins and newness of life in Christ.” “No matter what our background or past mistakes, when we genuinely repent and are baptized, God promises complete forgiveness.” “Living God’s way must always remain our priority. We must continually “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).” Read more

    The Middle East in Bible Prophecy

    The publisher offers this ebook for free at ucg.org/booklet/middle-east-bible-prophecy The Arab Spring, the continuing Israel – Palestine conflict… why does the Middle East dominate the news headlines so often? One obvious answer is oil, the lifeblood of our modern world. The crucial importance of oil alone ensures that the Middle East will remain in the headlines for years. The Middle East is also the birthplace of the world’s three great monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It has also been the battlefield for each religion—trying to control the territory they consider holy. Nowhere are these conflicts more obvious than in Israel, and specifically in Jerusalem. Whether you understand it or not, events in the Middle East are destined to affect the lives of every person on earth! Bible prophecy gives us the clues to understand what will happen. This ebook, “The Middle East in Bible Prophecy”, will help you better understand the troubled history of the Middle East—and its tumultuous future. Chapters in this ebook: — Introduction: Worlds in Turmoil— The Middle East: Worlds in Collision— The Sons of Abraham— The Rise and Fall of Ancient Israel— The Four Empires of Daniel’s Prophecies— The Coming of Islam— The Jews: From the Dispersion to the Modern Israeli State— The Creation of the Modern Middle East— A Rising Tide of Arab Nationalism— Fundamentalist Islam Resurges— Anger Mounts Following Gulf War— Not Enemies Forever— “Why Do People Hate Us So Much?”— War and Peace in the Middle East— What Is the “Abomination of Desolation”?— Prophecy of an Arab Confederation— What Should You Do? Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook: “It’s impossible to understand the present Middle East without a knowledge of the three great religions that emanate from the area—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These three faiths all trace their spiritual roots back to the same individual, Abraham.” “However, conflict between Christians and Muslims has been a constant theme of history for 14 centuries.” “Many other factors have contributed to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and subsequent terrorism, including the Israeli-Palestinian problem and the domination of American culture.” “After so much death and destruction, and centuries of war and unrest in the Middle East, imagine what a difference the second coming of Jesus Christ will make.”
