Preface

Christ proclaimed, "I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly -- even life eternal!"

Christ never spoke of death nor did He leave any teachings by which man could be prepared to die. He taught only Life! Life more abundant! Glorious, beautiful Life! Yes! He taught only the principles of Eternal Life!

He revealed "The Straight and Narrow Way that leads to LIFE ETERNAL, which so few find." At the same time He warned against the Broad Open Way which leads to destruction and which so many enter.

In the Book of Revelations are eight verses of flame which speak of the blessings and dynamic powers of those who would OVERCOME, even as He overcame.

Christ foretold of the time in which all distress and sorrows and evils would be OVERCOME and added, "And the last enemy to be OVERCOME IS DEATH!" He testified that if we believe on Him we need never die. Also he proclaimed, "If ye believe on me ye shall do all the works I do -- and go on to do GREATER WORKS." These promises have never been fulfilled -- or even considered.

And it must be here made known that God never planned death! He permitted it because of "the blindness of men's minds and the hardness of their hearts and because of the gross wickedness of unbelief."

Death is the dreary, back door entrance into the other world. It is the servant's entrance. But there is a great front door of glory for those who OVERCOME.

From the ancient record of Nicodemus, Chapter XVIII, verse 12, in the Lost Books of the Bible, is given this definite information. It was when Satan returned into Hell boasting that he had the Son of God crucified and hanging from a cross that the angel of Death answered in horror: "O Satan, prince of all evil, AUTHOR OF DEATH, and source of all pride, thou shouldst first have inquired into the evil crimes of Jesus of Nazareth, and then thou wouldst have found that he was guilty of no fault worthy of death." He even warned that Christ would be able to enter the realms of Hell and release all the prisoners from Hades, which He did, according to the record of St. Peter, in the Bible.

And it is true, "The wages of sin is death!" And from the ancient writings of the great ones comes this word: "Upon him who OVERCOMES ALL SIN, DEATH HAS NO CLAIM."

This book, "Beyond Mortal Boundaries," is the record which reveals the Way of Life Eternal -- that "STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY!" "And that Path is so simple and so easy a fool need not err therein."

This record also reveals the glorious, triumphant march of man toward Godhood and the breath-taking wonder of his divine lineage, the dynamic race of Gods, his holy ancestry.

"We have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us and we gave them reverence; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of Spirits and live?"
