This book is inspired and written about what Jesus told the Sanhedrin when they wanted to know by what authority he did what he did. His answer was “I require mercy. I do not requiem sacrifice.” On the surface, it seems simple enough, but it really is revealing everything, because if you knew the difference, you would truly know God. Many people profess to be saved if you have the security of truly knowing the answer to this. You are aware of the purpose of us and creation itself. You will know you are saved and why. Jesus said in the end-times, “Many will come to me saying, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and I will say to them, ‘Why do you call me Lord but you do not what I said? I don’t know you.’ This book and your asking the Father of all can help you know.
