This is a life-transforming manual for understanding and developing the concept of salvation and regeneration. It is a highly recommended resource for saints, especially new converts.

By Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

EXCERPT: INTRODUCTION

At the very heart of salvation is the Old Age battle between the fallen, rebellious Adamic nature and the new man created and restored through Christ. Salvation is beyond just an idea of redemption that gives us a passage into eternal life. It is a key that allows us to be renewed, transformed, and restored to our true eternal identity, which is immortal by nature in Christ Jesus. The very reason behind salvation is the precise functionality of our humanity within a fallen, degenerated world.

Understanding this key point allows us to appreciate the essence and reason why we must employ the transformative revelational wisdom and power of the word of God as a framework for our regeneration. To assume otherwise is to presume a false system or law that eventually leads us to tiredness and frustration.
I put this material together due to some concerns I have about the misrepresentation and false narrative of Christianity regarding Salvation and biblical spirituality in general. The Waterdown, lukewarm gospel being promoted has continued to produce very weak and immature brethren across the board, and this is certainly not good for the future of our mission.

Many young believers are feeling quite confused. For various reasons, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to identify who a young Christian is. These range from the influence of social media soundbite Christianity to the lack of clear spiritual leadership and responsibility from those who prioritize the physical size of Christian centers. What they call Christian entertainment has almost completely replaced the call to feed and nurture God’s folk spiritually.

My concern can also be traced to the wrong value systems, ideologies, and spiritual leaders promoting the concept of salvation, especially in Western countries like America. Their influence dramatically impacts other parts of the world, like Africa, whether it is acknowledged or not.
The concept and idea of salvation form the foundational footing of a believer’s spiritual development and experience. Suppose a person’s understanding of salvation is not firmly grounded in the pure, solid knowledge and experience of the word of God. In that case, their entire faith can come crashing down when life’s difficult trials test the solidity of that person’s spirituality.

This resource guide is designed to serve as a basic essential tool for new converts to Christianity and those who are already saved but seeking to grow and further establish their faith in the spiritual identity and culture of discipleship knowledge on sound biblical footing.

This manual is not just another religious material but a profound, practical tool that holds the transformative power to help you become a strong, proficient disciple of Christ in your life’s journey. It offers clear instructions, directives, and principles for navigating the various stages of biblical knowledge, development, and transformation. By practicing the points highlighted in this resource, you can overcome challenges, confusion, and frustration in your spiritual journey and become more enlightened and empowered.

The principle shared in this material will empower you and guide you toward personal growth and spiritual maturity. It will help you identify the correct emphasis and steps needed to become more aligned and proficient in your spiritual transition, development, and transformation toward that place of spiritual maturity, according to 1 Peter 2:2. This journey of growth and transformation is not only possible but also within your reach with the help of this material.

The scripture says that as newborn babies, you should desire the sincere milk of the word so that you may grow thereby. In this material, I have used specific relevant phrases and word language to capture the essence of the Lord’s heart as it relates to Salvation and biblical pointers to the concept of sound regeneration discipleship within the context of the 21st-century culture. As you may already know, Christianity is not just a religion but a call to a relationship between the estranged [man] son and a loving Father (Luke 15).
