    Believers face the temptations of sin every day. In Becoming a Peculiar Person in Christ, author The Reverend James A. Tazewell offers a look at helping Christians build their life around the will of God.

    Supported by a host of scripture, Tazewell presents a case for how you should live a righteous life to please God, love unconditionally, and avoid sin and evil. He addresses questions about how to stay connected to God in Christ while fighting life’s many challenges.

    Tazewell, who has learned his lessons through trials and tribulations, helps you increase your faith, enhance your walk, and build your relationship with Christ. He encourages you to follow the guidelines God has given for living in and being part of the kingdom of heaven.

      The Dedication Prayer

      I pray to my God, the Father of heaven and earth, in Jesus Christ’s name, for His blessing upon this book. Lord, I ask that you cover this book in your shed blood, and that you will cause every word written on these pages to influence all who read them and that they will hear your voice only through these words. And Lord, my prayer is that all men will be saved according to your desire for creation, according to your salvation plan in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I pray that you will anoint every chapter with your Holy anointing and cause an awakening in the souls of every reader and believer who obtains this book. I pray that all minds will be bound to the will of God in Christ Jesus and that every heart will be submissive and humble to the obtaining of God’s purpose in their lives.

      I pray that men, women, and children who read this book will change their perspective of who you are in the Holy Scriptures and realize that you are a Holy, longsuffering God who is full of compassion, unconditional love, and mercy, and that as a Holy God, you do not commune with sin or accept evil and wickedness in your presence. Therefore, God, my prayer is that every heart will be taken captive and every life that desires your salvation will become peculiar according to your Holy Word in Christ Jesus.

      I pray that the Holy Bible will once again be a compass for everyone who desires to follow Christ Jesus, pointing them toward the righteousness of the eternal kingdom in heaven. Heavenly Father, I pray that your will will be done in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen!

      Introduction

      Without the new birth, we cannot see the kingdom of God or receive eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ. Neither will we be able to enter the kingdom of God. To receive this life, we must repent of our sins to God and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is impossible for us, of ourselves, to escape the pit of sin in which we are sunk. Our hearts are evil, and we cannot change that. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? (Job 14:4). No one, and the fleshly mind will not adhere to the things of God or set itself to please God. Unbelievers cannot and will not mingle with the things of God in Christ.

      Know this, that there is no true excellence of character apart from God, and the only way to Him is Christ Jesus, the One who came in the way and, when He came of age, taught the way. Then, at the appointed hour of His life, He sacrificed Himself according to the way, showing the world that the heart of God the Father yearns over His earthly children with a love stronger than death. In giving up His only begotten Son, He has poured out to us all of heaven in one gift. It is an eternal fact
