There are two great questions that we all must eventually ask:• Why were we born? • What must we do to inherit eternal life? Legendary Bible teacher E. W. Kenyon tackles these questions head-on as he explains why God created us and what He has done to ensure our place at His side in The Father and His Family: The Story of Our Redemption. Mankind was never created on a whim. Instead, we were destined to be the Father's beloved children before the foundation of the world. When we fell, God created a way to bring us back to Himself. "The entire plan of redemption is a revelation of the heart hunger and loneliness of the great Father God," Kenyon says. "Christianity is not a religion; it is a family, a Father and His children." God gave Adam dominion and authority over the earth, which man squandered by questioning the Lord and disobeying him. In this manner, Adam turned over his rights to Satan. "When he turned that vast kingdom over into the hands of Satan, it was a legal transference," Kenyon explains. "It was so legal that God was obliged to recognize its legality, and the only way that God could meet the issue was to send His beloved Son down out of heaven to suffer the penalty of Adam's transgression." Presenting profound truths simply yet eloquently, Kenyon covers the reason for creation, man's treason, the dominion of death, man's need for a mediator, the family of God, and related topics.
