God Our Saviour: 8
Coterminous, the thesis in one view. One gold bar spans the page as a single shared boundary. Above it, three movements — Old Testament (pre-law, intra-law, post-law), New Testament, and this church age — with God presenting Grace because of His person, demonstrating His person for Grace, and manifesting Himself as Grace, under the heading He must increase. The bar is capped at the left with Let there be light (Genesis 1:3) and at the right with It is finished (John 19:30), and the cross stands at the hinge. Below the bar a narrowing wedge reads I must decrease, with awareness over anxiety set as two sides of one bar. Nine numbered awarenesses run along the foot.

Coterminous

A John 3:30 Primer

9 facts commonly missed that increase awareness and decrease anxiety

Coterminous is not intended to be a theological exploration but an attempt to demonstrate how God’s revelation weaves seamlessly across time, scripture, and the human experience. The book centers on the idea of coterminism — that all things share their boundary and meaning in the eternal Godhead, transcending the limitations of time and human understanding.

The work invites readers to study scripture through what the author calls Calvary-colored glasses, always interpreting from the vantage point of the Person and Work of Christ; the basis of True Exegesis. With a foundation in the King James Version of the Bible, the text emphasizes comparing scripture with scripture, avoiding human precepts, and holding to the authority of God’s Word as preserved and inspired.

All things are a singular boundary / event to the eternal Godhead, independent of the confines and process of time. The author’s definition of coterminosity

Structured around a series of “Awareness” chapters, the book introduces doctrinal themes such as:

  • The Witness to the Christian — focusing on Christ as the central testimony; what the author deems as the basis of true exegesis.
  • The Judicial Machinery of the Cross — exploring divine justice and reconciliation in the following:
  • The First Principles — foundational truths of the faith.
  • Justification, Sanctification, and Imputation — how God declares, cleanses, and transforms His people.
  • Redemption, Adoption, and Regeneration — the believer’s eternal security and identity.
  • The Blood of God — emphasizing Christ’s unique mission to separate wheat from tares.

Throughout, the book uses bold scripture citations, concordance insights, and theological contrasts (e.g., fall from vs. formed of) to highlight God’s plan. The goal is not academic debate, but rather a devotional and exegetical walk — leading readers to deeper awareness of Christ’s preeminence, the sufficiency of grace, and the believer’s position in Him.

At its heart, Coterminous is both an exhortation and a guide: to recognize that all truth and life converge in Christ, and to embrace that reality with gratitude, faith, and spiritual discernment.
