Fully convinced in my own mind that the doctrine of repentance is the missing note in many otherwise orthodox and fundamentally sound circles today, I have penned this volume out of a full heart. I hope and pray that God will be pleased to use it to awaken many of His servants to the importance of seeking so to present His truth as to bring men to the only place where He can meet them in blessing. That place is the recognition of their own demerit and absolute unworthiness of His least mercies and a new conception of His saving power for all who come to Christ as lost sinners, resting alone upon His redemptive work for salvation, and depending upon the indwelling Holy Spirit to make them victorious over sin's power in daily life.

When the deeds of the flesh are not willing to surrender to our spirit man, the final product of our labor is dead works. As long as our flesh is the dominant influence in our life, we are disconnected from God, the Creator of Heaven and earth. Disconnection from God produces dead works leading to both spiritual and physical death. We cannot allow the unfruitful works of darkness to dictate who we are and run our life. We can only be all that God wants us to be when we put the deeds of the flesh aside and take them into the Blood to be washed, sanctified and justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of God. There is no other way by which we are able to come before the presence of Adonai, for we are not prepared for absolute glory! Therefore, repent. Turn away from your dead works. Don’t labor in vain. Silence the flesh while the spirit man speaks. And while your spirit man speaks, listen and obey! Hear and do! Then Heaven will be your home. Commit to your memory 1 Timothy 4:16 to continue living in the Word of the Lord: “Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.”

The Holy Bible, "the Book Nobody Knows," as described by one Bruce Barton, is a book of ancient stories, prophecies, and wisdom literatures. But the Bible does have other specific themes. It contains specific teachings, knowledge and instructions on the purposes of the Creator and His plan for human salvation. In the series, The Foundation of Biblical Faith, the foundational knowledge and teachings of the Scriptures and treated in-depth. In this volume 1, Repentance from Dead Works, you will learn about the meaning of Biblical repentance and your need for it; sin, its effects, how the Creator views it, and the need to turn from it; the law and its purposes; the Levitical and Melchizedek priesthoods, sacrifices and their meanings and purposes. You will also learn the place of true deliverance in repentance and its relationship with the law. The book defines Repentance, shows the place and functions of Biblical Laws in Repentance, and shows the difference between the Levitical sacrificial laws and the Laws in the first five Books of the Bible. It gives a Biblical example of true repentance, discusses obstacles to true repentance, and shows the need for true deliverance in repentance.
