Christianity!

Christianity is Christ--it involves a principle of life which pulsates with divine energy and cannot be explained apart from God Himself. It is essentially miraculous even though it does not have to be sensational. It is always supernatural, in that it lies beyond the scope of mortal man apart from the indwelling presence of the risen Son of God. Within the sixty-six books of  the Bible,the Book of Esther speak to Christianity very well. You  may be somewhat surprised at my choice of the Book of Esther for this particular purpose,but I know of no other single book in the whole of the Old Testament more lucidly illustrates the principles governing the Christian life. Nor is there a book which demonstrates more clearly what  spiritual new birth really involves and what conditions must be met,to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to become effective for God. Within the pages of the Book of Esther there is to be found a wealth of understanding concerning the implications of true discipleship,and concerning that relentless war for final supremacy being waged within the soul of man between good and evil--between God and the devil. It is fascinating beyond description to find the unfolding of the story,so meticulous an explanation of so much that often baffles the honest but hard-pressed believer.
