communicating essential truths regarding Christ and His legacy of faith
Essence restored is dedicated to communicating essential truths regarding Christ and His legacy of faith which He bequeathed to His followers before leaving the earth with the expectation and instruction that it should be communicated transgenerationally in its purity, purpose and expression until He comes back again to claim the fruits of what He had invested through His own shed blood. It is however a statement of fact that as Christianity journeyed through the generations, away from its early and humble beginnings, it has drifted far from the core essence of the faith and has morphed into a religious institution robbed of its God-ordained identity and purpose. The Lord today, as always, calls His people back to originality of identity (who we are) and purpose (what is expected of us), two critical issues that are themselves built round the Lord Jesus Himself: who He really is (His identity) and what He actually came to do on earth (His mission)
