What stands out in this lesson is that grace is God’s free gift that we can never earn. The lesson helped me understand that salvation is based completely on God’s grace through Jesus Christ, not on my good works or efforts. I was also encouraged to learn that grace does not stop at salvation but continues to strengthen and guide believers…

What stood out for me in this lesson was that every person is born with a sinful nature and needs God’s salvation. I also learned that sin affects every part of our lives, including our thoughts, emotions, and choices. The lesson helped me understand that even though believers are forgiven, we still struggle with sin and must depend on the…

Lesson 5 teaches that understanding salvation begins with understanding sin. Sin entered the world through Adam’s disobedience, bringing guilt, death, separation from God, and a sinful nature inherited by all humanity. Genesis 3 records the historical Fall, while Romans 5 contrasts Adam’s condemnation with Christ’s offer of justification,…

What stood out to me most in Provision of Grace – Part 2 was that God’s grace is with us every day, not just when we are saved. I learned that His grace gives us strength when we are weak, helps us grow spiritually, and enables us to serve others with the gifts He has given us. I was encouraged by the reminder that God invites us to come boldly… Read more

This lesson has helped me understand the importance of Yahweh Texts and how Paul used Old Testament passages containing the divine name Yahweh. I learned that the Greek word Kyrios (Lord) was used to represent Yahweh in the New Testament and that Paul’s use of it must be understood through careful contextual analysis. I also learned the…

We have beem redeemed by the blood of Christ and reconciled with God.

I thank God for the studies. I have come to learn that the book of Exodus has been reframed in a manner that it gives three narratives. We have the narrative of creation, the identity of the children of Israel and lastly God’s presence among them. What touched me most was about the plagues. I have learned that the plagues have…

From the sessions especially chapter 26 i have learned that the Israelites demeaned themselves by worshipping the golden calf. This is so because idolatry demeans the glory of God in us because we are made in the image of God. If you demean the glory of God then it means you are demeaning the very essence of your humanity. This is so because… Read more

One thing that has come out clear to me from the studies is that in order to understand and interpret clearly what is in the biblical texts such as Genesis 1, one must understand it as cross-cultural. The bible was written by people of a different culture and in a different environment. So to effectively understand and interpret the…
