The Glory of Righteousness

What is righteousness? What is sin? What was the purpose of the Law of Moses? What is the difference between living under the law vs. living under grace? How can believers in Christ renew their minds effectively, and what does that mean? Do believers in Christ need to confess their sins? If yes, how should it be done and what is the importance of it? If they don't need to confess their sins, why not? This book will have an extensive discussion about conscience, righteousness, sin, law and grace, mind renewal, future sins, confession of sins and the Lord's Supper. As a general principle, a lie does not become truth just because it has been propagated for hundreds of years throughout history or because most people have accepted it as truth. From time to time, the people of God need to re-evaluate some of the existing doctrines in Christendom to see if they are really in line with the Word of God. Some of the beliefs that you hold today as a Christian might simply have been taken from your parents, pastors, friends, and teachers without ever being challenged or questioned in a constructive way. You're probably not even aware of it. This book will give you an opportunity to re-evaluate some of your beliefs, and check again for yourself in the scripture and with an open mind if they are according to the scripture or not. Living our lives here on earth from the spiritual realm and in the fullness of Christ is not something trivial that happens over night. It is a process that requires intentionality, sustained effort, perseverance, faith, and patience. It is a matter of personalized and applied knowledge about who we have become as sons and daughters of God. We have become the heirs of everything that God has and joint heirs with Christ. And the good news is that we already can partake right now of that inheritance, existing in an invisible form all around us, by knowledge of the Word of God and faith in that Word.

The training and education of our minds for our lives takes years and years of school and study. Keeping our physical bodies fit and in a good shape or building our muscles takes time, commitment, and much exercise. Likewise, developing a life of power in the spirit and of continuously increasing glory requires time, patience, and commitment. However, this life is not without rewards here on earth. I hope that this book will encourage you to fight the fight of faith in bringing that new person to the surface from inside out into full manifestation, knowing that God already has given us in the spiritual realm everything we need to live the God life in abundance here on earth. He is the one working in us both to will and to do His good pleasure, and He's also the rewarder of our faith and diligent seeking of His kingdom.

Eduard Serediuc is originally from Romania, Eastern Europe. He was born in 1981 in a Christian family and came to saving faith in Christ at the age of 14. He had the opportunity to be trained and involved in ministry from a young age in a non-denominational local church planted and pastored by his father. There, he served along the years as a Sunday School teacher, youth pastor, worship pastor, preacher, and teacher of the Word. In 2010, through providential circumstances, Eduard and his wife, Natalia, were led by the Holy Spirit to immigrate to the United States where they lived in different states and finalized their education. In 2016, led by the Holy Spirit, they moved to Padua, Italy for about 2 years and were part of the leadership team of International Christian Fellowship church there – Eduard as a worship leader and teacher of the Word, and Natalia as the church administrator. Eduard received his Bachelor in Computer Science from the Faculty of Computer Science in Iasi, Romania, his Bachelor of Divinity from Grace College of Divinity in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and his Master in Theological Studies from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He also graduated from "JGLM Dominion Bible Institute" in Dallas, Texas, from "Acts Ministries International Institute" (Southland church) in Anaheim, California, and from "Operation Solid Lives" discipleship program (The Rock church) in Anaheim, California. He has been working in the IT field as a programmer and database administrator since 2004. For a short while, he also taught Systematic Theology (online distance education) at Grace College of Divinity, Fayetteville, North Carolina. Eduard and his family live now in Irvine, California. Eduard has a heart to see born again believers gain a deeper understanding of the Gospel of Grace and walk in the fullness of Christ in their daily lives. He envisions believers walking: (1) free of condemnation (Romans 8:1); (2) full of the Holy Spirit's fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) and gifts (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11); (3) and serving people by healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons (Matthew 10:8). He is passionate about teaching the Word of God and leading God's people to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23).
