BIBLE
COURSE
"For
God So loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John
3:16
The world today is troubled. Men and women everywhere are seeking the
solution to their insurmountable problems--personal, social, national, and
international. Underneath it all is a longing to know the real meaning of life
and the destiny to which it leads.
Where did the world come from, and how did life begin? Why are men
continually at war, and why is there so much hatred between various races and
ethnic groups? Is there no hope for lasting peace in this world of ours? Why is
human nature torn between ideals and actions, between hope for something better
and the perverse inclination to do something worse?
Unaided by some power outside of itself, humanity has never been able to
find a satisfactory answer to these questions. But there is hope! Implanted in
every heart is a desire to worship some higher power, a desire after God
And God has the answers.
The purpose of this Bible course is to lead men and women to God and to
His message of salvation. Discover for yourself how much He longs to bring
peace, hope and joy into your life. Listen as God speaks to you from His Word
and tells you how He "… so loved the world that he gave us his one and
only unique Son, so that whosoever believes on him will not perish but have
eternal life" (John 3:16, NIV).
Because sin is a deceiver many have been misled into thinking they can
save themselves by their own good works. But the Bible is clear, "by
observing the law no one will be justified" (Galatians 2:16 NIV).
The Jews of Christ's day made the tragic mistake of thinking that they
could be saved by keeping the law. It is for this reason Jesus said unto them
"Come unto me all you that labor and are very discouraged and I will give
you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Man's only hope of salvation is the gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
But before we can rejoice in this good news of salvation, we must first come to grips with our sin problem. Once we lose all confidence in ourselves, we will accept with open arms God's incredible gift of salvation in Christ. In this first lesson we are going to discover what the Bible has to say about the universal sin problem, as a prerequisite to appreciating the good news of the gospel. It is only when the night is darkest that the stars shine their brightest Likewise, to fully appreciate the glorious truth of the gospel, we must view it against our total depravity.
