1. The Nature and Character of God
One of the central themes in the Bible is the revelation of God’s nature—His holiness, love, mercy, justice, and omnipotence. In this section, we will explore:
God’s Holiness
“But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” (1 Peter 1:15-16)God’s Love
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)God’s Justice and Mercy
“The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy.” (Psalm 145:8)
“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24)
In understanding who God is, we will be better equipped to walk in reverence and love towards Him.
2. The Purpose of Creation and Humanity’s Role
We will also look into God’s purpose in creating the world and humanity's responsibility as stewards of creation:
Man's Purpose and Dominion
“God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.’” (Genesis 1:28)Man’s Fellowship with God
“Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” (Genesis 2:15)
This section will focus on our God-given purpose and the importance of living in harmony with God’s creation and plan.
3. The Problem of Sin and God’s Redemption Plan
The Fall of Man
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.” (Romans 5:12)God’s Redemption through Jesus Christ
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
This section will point out the devastating consequences of sin and the amazing grace available through Jesus.
4. Living as Disciples of Christ
Living according to Christ’s teachings is the mark of true discipleship. We will delve into key principles that guide Christian living:
The Call to Discipleship
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me.’” (Matthew 16:24)Loving God and Others
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30)
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31)Living by the Spirit
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
This portion will encourage readers to embody the values and principles taught by Christ.
5. The Role of Faith in the Life of a Believer
The Definition of Faith
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)Faith that Moves Mountains
“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20)Faith Tested through Trials
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” (James 1:2-3)
Faith is not just a belief but an active, enduring trust in God’s promises.
6. The Importance of Prayer and Worship
The Power of Prayer
“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)Jesus’ Teachings on Prayer
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’” (Matthew 6:9-10)True Worship
“God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)
This section will teach practical steps to building a strong relationship with God through prayer and worship.
7. The Hope of Eternal Life
The Promise of Eternal Life
“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:11-12)The Second Coming of Christ
“For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16)New Heaven and New Earth
“Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.” (Revelation 21:1)
We will conclude with the joyous hope that believers have in Christ's return and the promise of eternal life.
