New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth . More than a commentary on Genesis, this compelling work explores how the same divine process that formed the world continues to shape individual lives today. Through biblical insight, real-life testimony, and thought-provoking reflections, Chacon uncovers the sacred pattern of God’s hand—from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from brokenness to dominion. “This book was born out of transformation,” Chacon writes, “and my goal is to illuminate the pattern—to show that God’s process is still in motion and that your life is being shaped by it.” Whethe...
The Scriptures say, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). And yet Paul, a man of unmatched revelation, said he was determined to “know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).
There’s something in that tension — between what we don’t know and what we truly need to know — that exposes why so many of us are worn out, discouraged, or still trying to “measure up” as believers.
If we only knew Him.
Not just facts about Him. Not just Sunday sermons or quiet time verses. But if we knew Jesus — truly, deeply, relationally — we would stop trying so hard to be Christians and start living like ones.
Because the truth is: most of us haven’t truly come into believing. We say we believe, but much of our energy is spent cleaning the outside of the cup — trying to obey, trying to be holy, trying to be accepted. And in all that striving, we miss the very Person who already made us all those things.
If we knew Jesus Christ — and Him crucified — we would know that the work is finished. That the curse in Deuteronomy 28? He became it. That the blessings in Deuteronomy 28? He fulfilled them, and handed them to us. That our identity isn’t something to be achieved — it’s something to be received.
If we only knew that we are already:
Holy in Him
Righteous in Him
Accepted in Him
Seated with Him
Blessed in Him
We’d stop chasing what’s already ours.
We wouldn’t try so hard to be “good.” We’d look to the One who is good — and in knowing Him, we’d be changed. Not by force. But by faith. By the Spirit. By love.
We’d stop trying to clean ourselves up and start trusting the One who said, “You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you” (John 15:3).
We’d stop exhausting ourselves and start walking in rest. Real rest. The kind Jesus promised when He said, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest… For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
If we knew His faithfulness, we’d know that He who began the good work in us is faithful to complete it.
If we knew His love, we’d stop looking for validation.
If we knew the kingdom was ours, we’d stop striving and start seeking.
Because when we know Him, we see ourselves rightly.
We were made in His image. We were crucified with Him. We were raised with Him. And now, we live in Him — blessed, chosen, beloved.
This isn’t about behavior modification. It’s about heart transformation. And that only comes by revelation — by knowing Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
So maybe the answer isn’t in trying harder, praying longer, or doing more.
Maybe the answer is simpler.
More relational.
More restful.
Maybe it’s just this:
If we only knew.
