Book excerpt: In Genesis, we encounter the same Jesus that Abraham met. As a result, we've received the remission of sins and experienced being born again. Through our belief in the Gospel of Truth, we've transformed into righteous individuals, the holy saints with circumcised hearts, and as such, we are God's children, blessed with eternal life. By walking alongside God throughout our lives, we too can bask in the rapture's glory, mirroring Enoch's experience. As God proclaimed, "The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth" (Genesis 8:21). In response, we should set aside our own perceptions, placing trust in and adhering to God's Word. Such genuine faith truly pleases Him. Among believers, two distinct groups emerge: those solely devoted to God, and those who balance their worship between God and idols. The former group's faith lies in the God of Abraham, while the latter places trust in the God of Nahor. It's worth noting that Nahor's lineage revered both the teraphim and God. In present times, numerous Christians find themselves serving both God and wealth. Such a faith, aligned with the God of Nahor, can be termed as a pseudo-belief. Abraham pursued the Word, undeterred by uncertainties of his path. It's my genuine wish for each of us to lead lives of faith, reminiscent of Abraham, which resonate with God's pleasure.
