A Biblical Spirituality….. an Overview of a spirituality from Jesus Christ:

A Christian Spirituality is based on what God has revealed through His son Jesus Christ and His Word the Bible.

It is based on an everlasting covenant that God initiated when He created man in the beginning. This covenant

exemplifies God’s unconditional love for us, His grace and His mercy towards us through the death and resurrection

of His son Jesus Christ. He has made a way for us to be accepted for who we are and not what we have done.

The essence of a Spirituality from Jesus Christ is God coming to us in the human form of Jesus Christ.

it isn’t about making us so we can find God or Jesus Christ being another spiritual prophet leading us to

God. God wants us to be with Him forever ….. He is passionate about us ….. He comes to us.

A Spirituality from Jesus Christ results from a Biblical Spirituality which begins with the Bible. There is a truth concerning God and the whole of life. It was a

‘True Truth’ communicated by God who sees the whole Cosmos as the large picture plus you and me as part of the detailed small picture. Seeing God is

the Creator of all things, God knows the final truth. This truth was communicated by prophets and seers over many years and finally in person in Jesus of

Nazareth who was God Himself in human form. These truths were collated in the Bible which consists of sixty six books written by people who didn’t often

know each other over 1500 years ++, yet whose writing manifests an amazing unity. In this unity there is even a mathematical sequence which flows from

beginning to the end.

The books of the Bible are divided into two sections: The Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the story the nation of Israel which

predicts the coming of the Messiah. The Messiah came in the person of Jesus of the New Testament as the New Israel. There are some striking parallels

like an intricate Biblical clockwork within the bigger Biblical clockwork. This gives us even great confidence in the Word of God as the Word for the Old and

New Testament.

The Covenant a Biblical Overview … In the Old Covenant of the Old Testament is the New Concealed and in the New Covenant in the New Testament

is the Old Revealed … Jeremiah 31: 31 “The time is coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel.
