Prepare to Sleuth “The Mystery Which is Christ in You” is the first book of the Barnabas series. Barnabas ministered in the early church as a preacher and is a great model for us. He served in keeping with the meaning of his name: "Son of Encouragement." That is the purpose of this book: to encourage Jesus' followers to search out the mystery of Christ's indwelling presence and grow in grace and knowledge. This is a practical, life-applicable trek through the Bible to search out the clues to this great truth. What does it mean to be "in Christ?" Can anyone completely define the union we have with our Savior? This study book proclaims a Gospel that is very simple, yet a great mystery. By faith and in the waters of baptism we are made one with our Lord and Savior. We know how we are made one with Christ. We understand the promise of Christ returning for us and then our dwelling with Him in heaven forever, but what does it mean in everyday life? This study does not present a three-step program for living as one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Instead, the learner is shown the path for a life-long journey of faith and eternal hope. Open your Bible with one hand, this study guide with the other, and let's begin to explore the mysteries of this miraculous Good News. It's a challenge to illustrate the reality of being in Christ and Him Indwelling us.
