FREE E PUBLICATION
THE CROSS, SELF-DENIAL AND THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD
This free eBook gives a balanced conservative study of the soon coming manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:19-21 is one of many Bible passages that teach us about the manifestation of the sons of God. This doctrine, commonly called "manifested sons" is often misunderstood and sometimes exploited by cults. This book connects the doctrine of the manifestation of the sons of God with the doctrine of sanctification. Those who embrace the cross and humbly deny self are those who grow to full stature in Christ. Discover what it really means to take up the cross daily. This is not dry legalism but a dynamic walk. The manifestation of the sons of God is not an elitist doctrine but is a glorious end-time event that must be properly understood. The following is a chapter-by-chapter summary of this much needed book.
- LEGALISM: THE SELF-LIFE IMITATION OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS
Legalism, the most common substitute for true sanctification, is defined; the opposite extreme, antinomianism, is also defined and cautioned against. Thorough explanation of how to flow in the Spirit to keep the commands contained in the Gospels and the Epistles is given in this chapter.
- LAYING DOWN THE SELF-LIFE
True, biblical self-denial is defined and explained. "Self" is defined. "Cross" is defined. "Overcomer" is defined. Explanation is given as to how walking in self-denial qualifies one to be an overcomer. Conservative treatment of the "manifested sons" doctrine flows seamlessly from this chapter's teaching on denial of self.
- WHAT SELF-DENIAL IS NOT
Many biblical and unbiblical concepts and practices are often confused with self-denial. These are defined and put in proper perspective. An explanation of how some of these concepts and practices, though different from self-denial, also contribute to the believer's growth is also given.
- SELF-DENIAL IN TYPE AND SHADOW
A study of biblical types and shadows that pre-figure and shed light on the concepts of self- denial, sanctification and the manifestation of the sons of God.
- THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION: TAKING UP THE CROSS DAILY
This chapter gives a very practical explanation of how to enter into the experience of self-denial on a daily basis. How to pray the prayer of consecration; how to take up one's cross daily; how to hear and obey God’s voice; how daily entrance into consecration delivers us from all bondage is explained.
- THE PRACTICAL DAILY WALK OF AN OVERCOMER
How to walk as an overcomer. Analysis of the tension between non-resistance vs. resistance to evil including an in-depth discussion of Matt 5:39 which commands us to turn the other cheek and a discussion of Luke 22:36 which implies that Christians are permitted to resist evil in some circumstances. How to overcome evil with good. Practical outworking of sanctification and the necessity of being led by the Holy Spirit.
- THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD
Exposition of Revelation chapter 12 and what it says regarding the sonship message, the role of the manifested sons in the end of this age and during the millennial reign of Christ is given. This chapter gives a balanced treatment of Bible prophecies relevant to the sonship message. An exciting future awaits those who deny self and therefore can be entrusted by God with much power to do great works that will glorify Him.

LAWFUL OR LEGALISTIC
HOW NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS MUST UNDERSTAND OLD TESTAMENT LAWS
Published by Xulon Press, Longwood, Florida USA, this book is available in soft cover at xulonpress.com at a reasonable price. It is similar to our free eBook #1 (Messianic Jews and the Law of Moses) but is written more from a Gentile perspective. Winner of the Best Christian Biblical Book of the year 2008 award given by Christianstoryteller.com.
Grace versus law is an issue of supreme importance to every follower of Jesus the Messiah. Finding the proper balance between grace versus law is a major key to a joyful, victorious lifestyle that glorifies God. The on-line book titled Messianic Jews and the Law of Moses and the new paperback Lawful or Legalistic: How New Testament Believers Must Understand Old Testament Laws tackle the subject of grace versus law from a whole new perspective.
The author, Bill Nugent, a gifted Bible teacher, approaches grace versus law by giving a proper understanding of how the Old Testament law is a prophetic picture of the New Testament walk by the Spirit. For instance the Sabbath was a day of rest on which the people were commanded to cease from work. Under the New Testament we observe not a literal cessation from work every seventh day but rather we observe the spiritual fullness of resting in Christ whereby we cease striving and simply flow in Christ's strength and joy to work in such liberation that it hardly seems like work.
Other aspects of the Old Testament Law such as tithing and the dietary laws are also discussed from this perspective. Issues such as Jewish believers' Torah observance are discussed. The prophetic issues pertaining to the millennium in which some teachers claim that animal sacrifices will be offered in a rebuilt temple are also discussed at length. Other chapters contain some extremely helpful teaching on laying down the self-life and how to walk in continued guidance by the Holy Spirit.
You will enjoy reading this timely, insightful, practical and thought provoking book. What follows are short descriptions of each chapter:
- THE TEACHINGS AND LIFE EXAMPLES OF THE APOSTLES REGARDING THE LAW:
The whole concept of covenant and covenant law is defined. The New Testament apostolic teaching on the Abrahamic and Sinaitic covenants is explained as a foundation for the central premise of the book. The fact that we fulfill the Law by walking in the Spirit is shown. Voluntary keeping of the literal Law of Moses is permitted but not biblically required. The apostles’ teachings in the epistles are studied in the context of their godly lifestyles which are recorded in the book of Acts. It is important to understand the lifestyle and cultural context of the apostles' teachings. The emphasis in this chapter is why we must walk in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
- THE NEW WINESKIN INSTEAD OF THE OLD"
Specific examples of literal Mosaic laws (Sabbath, dietary laws etc.) are given in order to show how these laws find fulfillment in Christ. The emphasis in this chapter is on how to walk in the Spirit to keep the law in substance rather than shadow.
- WILL ANIMAL SACRIFICES BE OFFERED IN A MILLENIAL TEMPLE?
The eschatological question as to whether or not animal sacrifices will be offered in a stone temple during the millennium is dealt with here. This chapter explains why a reinstitution of the animal sacrifice system is not at all intended by the prophetic passages often cited to make this claim. A correct understanding of the prophetic passages is given.
- ARE GENTILES UNDER THE COMMANDS OF NOAH?
There are some teachers who put Jewish believers under the literal Law of Moses who also attempt to put Gentiles under a separate legal system based on the Noahide covenant of Genesis nine. This chapter explains that Gentiles are free from this obligation because the commands given to Noah also find their fulfillment in Christ. Each of the commands of Acts 15:29 (alleged to be derived from Noah) are analyzed in depth.
- THE LAW OF MESSIAH:
We are under grace and not under law yet the New Testament is full of commands. This chapter analyzes the commands Jesus gave in the Sermon on the Mount and the commands given through the apostles in the epistles and explains how we are to understand and obey them. Specific examples of how the apostles understood and obeyed these commands are given. Examples from modern day life are also given to shed light on how we must walk by the Spirit to obey New Testament commands.
