Class 100-200-300, Week 3

"Losing Paradise", by He Qi

It was clear back in Genesis 3 that we learn of the Fall, and man’s subsequent eternal removal from God’s holy presence. Through this one man (Adam) death came upon us all.

Then in week #2, we discovered that God through his incredible grace provided a Savior to redeem us from death, and opened the door to once again enter into fellowship with him.

Now, in week #3, we discussed the topic of “Assurance of Salvation”. How can we know  that we will spend eternity in heaven with God?

Here are a few of the key points touched upon in this class:

• Once saved, many struggle to have complete confidence because of sin, “religion”, or a lack of understanding.
• Because of our imputed separateness from God, we need a Savior to save us from God’s wrath.
• We are saved by grace, through our faith, not of our own doing, but a gift from God, and not a result of works.
• The result of this gift (Salvation) is eternal life, abundant life, the Holy Spirit, and no more condemnation for our sins!

Our homework, for this week, is to memorize Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Next week, God willing, we will be learning about prayer, and understanding God’s will.

See you then!
