The Preacher addresses truth-seekers everywhere by pointing the way back to the first century, to original Christianity, before its true message became less pure, muddled by glosses superimposed over centuries. He encourages a close relationship with Jesus Christ, the son of God, who by his chosen apostles sets forth basic principles of belief, summed up in the Apostles Creed, along with certain imperatives that follow, e.g., repentance, baptism, faith and prayer.

The Preacher is here identified as a member of the Christadelphian Movement, brought to light in England and America in the late 19th century by an English physician named John Thomas (1805-1870), his foremost work, Elpis Israel (the Hope of Israel) an exposition of the Kingdom of God. Christadelphian churches, called ecclesias, are autonomous bodies, loosely organized which support no paid ministry. The brethren share duties in meetings where Christ's death and sacrifice is honored every Sunday. Fellowship is maintained in Bible Schools arranged by individual ecclesias, and in smaller Gatherings of believers harking back to former days. Although few in number, Christadelphians are found the world over. Believers run the gamut from student (daily reading) to scholar. Exhortations by this Preacher reflect in modern vernacular truths that have not changed for 2,000 years.

The permissive society in which we find ourselves today is no better than the pagan world in which the apostles preached, struggled, fought and died. First century Christians were not immune to the very same corruptions that exist today. However, they were given the Holy Spirit by God, the power that fueled the Christian movement of the New Testament. In the 21st century, by God's grace, the Holy Spirit remains for us in one book, the Holy Bible, His word to man.
