This book is borne out of the leading of the Holy Spirit to reveal the panting and desire of our heavenly Father's heart as it concerns His plan for the redemption and restoration of humanity and the maximization of our inheritance in Him. It reveals the desire of God for an active intimate relationship with every human being. This has been the plan of God for His children (human beings) to know and walk with Him. In our journey to the Father's heart, there's only one highway to the rich treasures of His love and grace. Everyone must pass through this highway into the Father's heart. This highway is Jesus Christ, and I've endeavored throughout this book to remain on this highway while calling men and women, boys and girls, old and young to journey with me to the Father's heart. This is a journey you will never regret and for which you will be eternally grateful. In Welcome Aboard: a journey to the Father's heart, you are going to see clearly, among other things; • The goodness and unconditional love of God for humanity in the perfect atonement of Jesus Christ, His beloved Son, on Calvary, • Your privileged call in the gospel to walk with the Lord daily and experience the full and complete benefits of the gospel, and • Your true identity and positioning as a believer in Jesus Christ according to the revelation of scriptures. I have divided this book into three main sections. Each section deals with a particular theme and revelation of scripture. Each page of this book is saturated with scriptural truths to help you experience the love and presence of the Father through Jesus Christ in a new way.
