Introduction
The Bible is our source and standard for truth. As John 17:17 says, “Thy word is
truth.” When we apply that truth, it provides a foundation for our values and a
guide for our daily lives.
Book #2, Life Foundations, digs deeper into God’s Word and lays a strong biblical
foundation for a person’s Christian walk. In this book, we will cover a lot:
- our new life in Christ
- our new identity
- the battle with the world, the flesh and the devil
- temptation
- the Holy Spirit
- prayer
- preparing your personal testimony
Your “Timothy” will also begin to memorize specific Scriptures that correlate to
each lesson. The Scripture texts are not printed, so your Timothy will need his
own Bible. If he does not have a Bible, you will want to help him select one and
learn how to use it.
In Chapter 1 of Life Foundations, “New Life in Christ,” we will come to see how
Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. All we can do is surrender our lives
to His control and accept His free gift of salvation, resulting in eternal life.
We will explore our connection with God through Christ, a connection we acknowledge
by believing in Him and confessing and repenting of our sins. We will examine how
we can be sure about our eternal destiny and how eternal life begins now, not in
heaven someday in the future.
