PREFACE
 
 This book is published to help especially new brothers and sisters understand the truth of the Bible easily.
God says, "And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is closer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light" (Ro 13:11-12). To be in slumber means to be in a state of sleep where our faith becomes stagnant and weak and we shrink back from the gospel work. The Bible teaches us that now is the time to wake up and to prepare the oil of faith.
The person who loves God also loves God's word (Jn 14:15). This book will help you become the one after God's own heart like David, who loved God's commands more than pure gold (Ps 119:126-128).
God has taught us three ways to live: Just as our body maintains life by breathing, eating and acting, so our spirit can live when it breathes through prayer, eats spiritual food--the words of God, and acts through preaching.
All you who read this book, please remember God will come before long. Imagine you are standing in front of God, and now, from this moment on, love God!
Abraham Lincoln became a great president who left his mark on history and was praised as a philanthropist who proclaimed the emancipation of slaves and the equality of men, by loving black people. Shim Chung, a maiden in an ancient Korean folk tale, known for her virtue and filial piety, became a noble queen by loving her father and sacrificing herself to the sea. We are to become the royal priests of heaven by loving God and obeying what He commands (Jn 14:15).
