The Spirit of Excellence

Book excerpt: The Spirit of Excellence A plan of God exemplified through Daniel God decided to create man in His image and likeness. The Lord God, in His eternal purpose, provided His word to feed and give life to man, in order for man to live the spirit of excellence on earth. Jesus, the second man and the last Adam, lived fully the spirit of excellence on earth fulfilling the plan of God. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end of the word of God. Jesus Christ is the essence and the fullness of the word of God. However, it is in the word that man lives in the spirit of excellence to fulfill the plan of God. Daniel was a Jew, who lived in exile in Babylon, from his youth to his death. When he was a child, he decided to obey the word of God during his life. By practicing the word of God, he fulfilled God's plan by living out the spirit of excellence on earth. In this book, we will learn more about the life and work of the prophet Daniel in Babylon. I believe that God desires for us to be inspired, challenged, and awakened to live a life with a spirit of excellence like Daniel lived. To God, in Christ Jesus, be all the glory!
