For a person who has just made the first step as a Christian, a piece of advice from other Christians is of great help. A new book that will be your guidance in your Christian life has been published. It is Dr. Jaerock Lee's Fundamentals of Christianity.
It is multi-colored and as small as a handbook. The book helps us learn about the fundamental things Christians should know and practice. It is full of spiritual key knowledge for Christians. In the book are the difference between the meanings of 'Jesus' and the 'Christ'; the difference between faith with which we will be saved and the faith with which we have been saved; how to offer up God-pleasing prayer; keys to blessings; and the definition of heresy grounded on the Bible.
Above all, this book deals with knowledge necessary for a person who has accepted Jesus Christ to grow up as a mature Christian. It is of great benefit also to those who want to strengthen basics of their Christian life.
Part 1 Difference between the Name of 'Jesus' and 'Christ'
Jesus, who is one with God the Origin, came to the earth to save mankind who became sinners due to the sin of the first man, Adam. After performing His three-year public ministry, Jesus was crucified to redeem mankind from sins and became the Savior by overcoming death and being resurrected. This book lets you know and understand how Jesus, who is the Son of God, became the Christ. It explains why Jesus is our only Savior and also explains what the difference between the meaning of the names, 'Jesus' and 'Christ'.

Part 2 The Faith with which We'll Be Saved and the Faith that We've Been Saved
Although we attend church, if we haven't received the Holy Spirit, we can't have full assurance of salvation. The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts when we accept Jesus Christ and repent of our sins. Only when we receive the Spirit can we destroy old habits and live by the Word of God. This book presents the way to receiving the Holy Spirit as a sign of salvation; the process of reaching perfect salvation; and the standard that discerns between the faith with which 'we will be saved' and the faith with which 'we have been saved.'
CONTENTS
• The Holy Spirit, the Sign of Salvation • The Faith to Be Saved • The Faith by which We've Been Saved • Salvation, through Being Born Again of Water and the Spirit What are the proofs that show that we've received the Spirit?

Part 3 Keys to Praying
The Bible tells us, "For it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer" (1 Timothy 4:5). We've been leading our Christian lives to be born again as a holy child of God and reach salvation. Only when we both pray and arm ourselves with the Word of God can we lead a balanced Christian life. God's children can gain spiritual strength and with the spiritual strength they can pray habitually. They can overcome the world and receive answers and blessings. This book shows you the way to communicate with God in prayer, the prayer that God accepts, and the right order of prayer.
CONTENTS
• The Lord's Prayer • Jesus, the Best Model of Prayer • The Right Order of Prayer • Pray Always and Do Not Lose Heart Why can't we receive answers to our prayers?

Part 4 Keys to Blessings
Jesus came to the earth as our Savior. He lived a poor life to redeem us from poverty. So, anyone who has accepted Him and dwells in His Word can enjoy prosperous lives as written in 2 Corinthians 8:9. We can gain true blessing when we cast off sins and practice God's commands with joy and thanks. The fundamental commandments are 'to keep the whole Sabbath' and 'to give whole tithe'. Through them, we can enjoy good health and curb unnecessary spending and enjoy blessings day by day.
CONTENTS
• Casting Away Sin and Evil and Loving God • Keeping the Commandments • Whole Sabbath • Whole Tithe and Offerings God's Standard to Receive Blessings

Part 5 The Definition of Heresy
Some people have a false sense of what heresy really is. They don't use the standard of the term that is written in the Bible, but instead they condemn other churches as heretic due to small differences in creed. At present, we have to establish the definition of heresy based on the Bible. By suggesting the clear definition of heresy grounded in the Bible, this part of Fundamentals of Christianity helps keep you from judging or condemning the works of the Spirit. It will also help you discern spirit correctly.
CONTENTS
• Heresy, Denying Jesus is the Christ • Characteristics of Heresy • The Spirit of the Antichrist • Sins Leading to Death Early Church, the Ideal Model of Churches
In 2013, the year of blessing, we hope you will check your march of faith to see if you are running towards a goal with a new heart and practice the things that are fundamental for Christians. Through the book Fundamentals of Christianity, we wish for you to strengthen your basics of faith and grow up in faith greatly.
