This course systematically explores essential Christian doctrines, starting from the necessity and authority of doctrine itself, progressing through understanding the nature and character of God, the fall of humanity, salvation, and the transformative role of grace, faith, and obedience in the believer’s life. It then deepens into practical aspects like repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, receiving the Holy Spirit, and concludes with the Christian's call to holiness, purposeful living, stewardship, spiritual warfare, and a final exploration of the doctrine of last things, focusing on judgment, eternity, and the believer’s hope.
Each lesson provides comprehensive scriptural support, clarification of common misunderstandings, and practical applications to ensure doctrine is both understood intellectually and integrated spiritually into everyday living.
