All human institution of learning has been able to put into place body of knowledge to help the mind and body of man to function at his best, yet have not been able to provide or find solution to the spiritual need of man which is vital and fundamental. Vital because man is a spirit being; fundamental because every aspect of man is influence from that point.

Along side every manufacturer's product is a little book containing vital information for the effective use of their products. This is usually referred to as the manufacturer's manual or the operational instructions. This consists of the basic operational guide, rules to be followed in order to avoid damages, and if there are major malfunctions, you are requested to consult the manufacturers. And this is because the manufacturer knows the product more than the proposed user. And quite often when these instructions are carefully followed the best performance are usually obtained. Thus we can make a statement of fact like this: Every product is at its best performance when put fully into its original use intended by the manufacturer.

That man is a product of Divine intelligence is not an overstatement. One of the fundamental laws of life says life produces after its kind e.g. goat beget goats and monkey begets monkey. This is the Truth! It cannot be debated. Pilate the governor standing before Jesus during His trial asked Jesus, "What is truth"? The Truth was standing right before him but knew him not the Truth. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." (John 14:6) What is Truth? Truth is Life and Life is Jesus. The scriptures says, This is eternal life, that they might know thee, the only True God and Jesus Christ whom thou have sent. (John 17:3)

Thus we have seen that the manufacturer(God's) manual contain operational instructions for man to live at his best. For example the The bible says, "Love your enemy do good to those who hate you" (Matt. 5:44). When this instruction is followed, instead of strife and war, we have peace and joy multiplied in the world. But for the natural man to obey this instruction, there is need for him to be in his whole state.

IN CASE OF SERIOUS MAL-FUNCTIONING CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER

And as we start reading the manual we are informed that the product (man) is at a critical state of mal-functioning which needs strictly the manufacturer's attention. A wicked virus called sin attacked it. The bible says all have sinned and come short of God's glory (Rom.3:23). Sin is a spiritual virus that makes/causes the spirit of man to mal-function. And as earlier said, this is fundamental because man is essentially a spirit being, thus any problem affecting this area affects every other area too.

The manufacturer has already provided a powerful anti-sin-virus capsule. This capsule is the blood of Jesus, our redemption price for the eradication and rectification of this major problem affecting His products (humanity). What is required now is for every one of these products to return to the manufacturer's assembly point for a total over-hauling process (John 3:16-18). This is done by total repentance, total submission and consecration.

At 2Cor. 5:17 of the manufacturer's manual states, "Therefore if any man be in Christ (i.e. return to the assembly point because Christ is the source of all life, by Him were all things created) he is a new creature (receives a total over-hauling) old things(the virus and the corruption inflicted by the virus) are passed away, behold all things are become new.
