Out of many paths, Jesus is the one

Defending God's Word can sometimes feel like an overwhelming challenge. Our faith is the only evidence of what we cannot see. One way to affirm God’s Word is through our experiences, though this often depends on whether we can overcome the situations we face. We can gain theoretical knowledge either through self-study or formal education, and both paths are essential and unavoidable.

In my study of the Old Testament, I understand that only one kingdom was needed to govern the nation of Israel. I believe God intended for there to be 12 tribes in His nation, but we have repeatedly failed Him. Since He cannot rely on us, He sent His Son to fulfill this purpose.

Beginning with Israel, the church that Jesus founded consists of twelve apostles. The members of His church are Christlike. It is important to note that we live under the new covenant, and its laws serve the purpose of His kingdom.

This book is a collective effort, united by our shared belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Each member plays a unique role, much like the parts of a body mentioned in the Holy Book. While each member has a distinct function, they all work together toward a common goal.

As you read about this new movement in the manuscript, you will see that the members serve the Most High in similar ways but operate independently. Each group decides how it will function as a collective. Similarly, within our group, one writer leads the effort while the others fulfill their roles as needed.
