    MODULE 4

    From the passage, I have learned that the story of Creation and its unfolding through the covenants is not just a theological narrative but a formative process for the worldview of God’s people. Scripture is not just a source of information; it is a spiritual practice that shapes both individuals and the church…

    • I particularly love the idea of success as the appropriate/maximum use of God-given abilities to fulfill God’s purposes. It is not always about what we achieve, but about whether we have been faithful in doing the Lord’s will.

      SESSION 5

      From this session, I learned that each biblical author has a unique style, emphasis, and theological focus, so words can carry slightly different nuances depending on who is writing.

            • That’s right! Context is king. My OT/NT exegesis lecturer told us repeatedly to make context our best friend in Bible interpretation. Many have genuinely taught wrongly because they neglected context.
