In view of the behavioral inconsistency with doctrine by born again believers, this book serves to offer guidelines so that earnest believers who speak of eternal life will also behave in a manner that relates to their expectations. As Christians, we previously lived in nonconformity to the things that the Bible encourages. Now, our new lifestyle should demonstrate the teaching of the Bible to, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world" (1 Jn.2: 15-16). Love of the world involves fleshy lust and selfish pride. It is the most challenging antagonism that can distract a believer's walk with the Lord. To be enthralled by worldliness means that he or she is deceived and such worldly pursuit can only lead to separation from God.
In light of the deceiving elements that lead to destruction, "The Voice of Truth" purports to edify believers ". . . for the perfecting of the Saints and the unity of the faith." The lifestyle of Saints must adopt the attitude of pleasing God, not ourselves. Our behavior must conform to doctrinal principles through love, as the body of Christ.
