Facet One: The Relationship Between Man and God
Facet One The Relationship Between Man and God Author:J. Richard Fugate This is the first volume of a two-volume, grammatically-technical commentary (or systematic theology) of key categories of doctrine. These categories have been developed and substantiated solely by Scripture. — Volume I covers Facet One: doctrines concerning the relationship between a believer and the Godhead as a Believer-Priest. — Volume II (to ... more »be published later) will cover the other four facets of the balanced Christian life:
Facet Two--The relationship of a believer to unbelievers as a Beacon pointing to Christ. Facet Three--The relationship between believers in Ministry. Facet Four--The relationship of a believer as Conqueror over Satan and the thinking and wisdom of the world. Facet Five--The relationship with one's self that he/she can have as A Completed Human Being. The first and paramount facet of the balanced Christian life is the believer's Priesthood. This is the facet which describes a believer's position as a priest before the Godhead and his unique personal and private relationship with God. It is this position before the Godhead that allows the believer to have the privilege of direct access to God the Father through Jesus Christ, the High Priest.
It also describes the believer's responsibility to represent and serve the Godhead. It is as a believer-priest that one stands before God and offers his submission and obedience, praise, thanksgiving, confessions, prayers, giving, and self-sacrifices. It is also as a believer-priest that all of a believer's other facets are empowered. As the foundational element of the Christian life, the entire first volume of this presentation is dedicated to this facet.« less
