I could not adequately provide for my family; I was sick and I felt defeated, even though I was saved and functioning in the office of pastor. After years of studying the Bible and applying its life-changing principles to the circumstances of life, I learned what it means to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7) and how to achieve prosperity of spirit, soul, body, and finances by acting on God's Word. I learned that the Word works; and because God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34), His Word can work in your life, as well. Toward this end, I have developed this book as a guide to help the new Believer get started on a life-long journey leading to success and prosperity as a follower of Jesus Christ. Even if you have not yet been exposed to the basic teachings of Christianity, I believe you will receive a measure of blessing from what is contained in this book. I encourage you to begin with the beginning—understanding the gift of salvation. Advance on to the Holy Spirit and the importance of speaking with other tongues, then continue through to the principles of faith. No teaching of the full Gospel, as recorded in the New Testament, would be complete without instructions on divine healing and financial prosperity. It is God's will that His children prosper in all things and be in health, just as their souls prosper (3 John 2) . Take each chapter in this book and diligently study it. Look up the scriptures given at the end of the chapter, and, of course, apply what you read to your life. By doing these things, you will be building on a firm foundation for success—spirit, soul, and body. Frederick K. C. Price, D.D. [OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com) 1 Salvation—And What It Means for the Believer In Job 14:14, Job asks, "If a man dies, shall he live again?" This question is essential to every human being. One answer is found in John 11:25-26 . In this passage of Scripture, Jesus is responding to a statement made by Martha, one of the sisters of Lazarus. Lazarus was a dear friend of Jesus who had recently died, and Martha was saying that if Jesus had been there, her brother would not have died. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. "And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.... " What is crucial to understand here is that Jesus is not talking about natural or physical death. He uses this opportunity to state a profound truth that is the underlying fabric of all Christianity—that a person is either spiritually ALIVE or spiritually DEAD according to whether or not the person established a relationship with Christ while he or she was physically alive. What It Means to be Spiritually Alive When a person confesses (accepts or receives) Jesus as Savior and Lord, this person is deemed to have experienced the new birth. He or she is now alive to God in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:22) . This person is then said to be born again (John 3:3), saved (Romans 10:910), a child of God (John 1:12), or a Christian (1 Peter 4:16) . The opposite of saved, of course, is lost. Therefore, anyone who does not accept, or receive, or confess Jesus as Savior and Lord is considered anon-Christian, a non-Believer, unsaved, and condemned (John 3:16-18) . But the Word tells us in 2 Peter 3:9 that God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Why It Is Necessary to Confess Jesus to Be Saved When God

FAQs

What does “salvation” mean in the book’s teaching?

Salvation is presented as accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord, leading to new birth and spiritual life in Christ. The book emphasizes that salvation changes a person’s spiritual status, not merely physical circumstances.

How does the book distinguish spiritual death from physical death?

Spiritual death is described as separation from God, “cut off” from right standing with Him, while the person still exists physically. Physical death occurs when the spirit and soul leave the body.

Why does the book stress confession of Jesus to be saved?

It explains that humanity fell under Satan’s dominion through Adam’s disobedience, so salvation requires receiving Jesus. Confessing Jesus is portrayed as the necessary step to restore a relationship with Christ.
