The document presents several spiritual laws: 1) Man is sinful and separated from a holy God, with man unable to bridge the gulf through his own efforts. 2) God bridged the gulf by sending his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross and pay the penalty for man's sins. 3) Individuals must receive Christ to move from a self-directed life with Christ outside to a Christ-directed life with Christ on the throne and self yielding to him.
