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:

In understanding who God is, we will be better equipped to walk in reverence and love towards Him.

We will also look into God’s purpose in creating the world and humanity's responsibility as stewards of creation:

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)

Faith is not just a belief but an active, enduring trust in God’s promises.

“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)
