"Introduction"

Back to The Awesome Potential of Man

The hope of every Christian is to one day receive “salvation,” with most assuming that “going to heaven” is the final and greatest reward attainable for every person on Earth. This is seen to be the pinnacle—the supreme achievement and ultimate fulfilment!—of the human destiny.

But is this true? Or is there something greater ahead for every human being ever born? The “bound for heaven” idea is based on a long-held assumption—on what most have been told that the Bible says about life after death. The result has been that few who think about the afterlife talk of any other “potential,” either for individuals, specifically, or for mankind, collectively. Even fewer are willing to take the time to get the FACTS!

The awesome truth is that the Bible teaches something entirely different—and INFINITELY GREATER!—than this popular supposition believed by the vast majority of people attending all the well-known, mainstream churches today.

Here is the problem—here is why few understand the reason for which they were born. Most people never concern themselves with life’s GREATEST QUESTIONS until they are confronted with death, either their own or that of someone close to them. Even then, most only take a superficial interest. Those few who are willing to take a closer look at how they will spend all eternity do not know where to find PLAIN ANSWERS to their questions.

This is either because they do not know how to study the Bible for themselves or believe that they should merely listen to the answers of “learned men” who have “been trained” and who “know about these things.” And they are instructed to “accept on faith” those things about the afterlife they are told cannot be understood.

Tragically, taking the easy path, most remain willingly blind, accepting non-answers without resistance. The nations of Earth are speeding toward a time of final, terrible world trouble—the crisis foretold to occur at the close of this age. The growing fear of war, terrorism, famine, disease, crime, pollution, breakdown of the family, and a host of other worsening and seemingly insoluble problems have gripped great and growing numbers, and this includes entire nations.

Evidence abounds that the end of this present civilization is near. Those who wonder “Where is this all going?”, “What is God doing?”, and “Is this all there is?” want clear—PLAIN!—provable answers to these and related questions. The very greatest question is “Does God have a MASTER PLAN?”, and if so, what is it? The answer is that He does, and it carries many exciting details—all of which YOU can know. You will learn that God’s purpose is immutable, that it cannot be overthrown or defeated.

You can also know of your place within it. In fact, if you read this entire book, you soon will. This volume answers every one of the most important questions that should be on your mind, including many others you would not know to ask—but need to understand. None of the answers are what you expect. Neither are they what “educated” so-called “scholars and theologians” teach, because none can teach what they were never taught—what they never learned.

You were put on Earth to fulfill an ASTONISHING PURPOSE—you hold a potential far surpassing your very greatest expectations. Prepare now to be SHOCKED at what it is—and INSPIRED beyond your wildest imagination!
