Study Notes
- Three essential truths for Christians to understand salvation: the extent of sin, the path to salvation, and living in thankfulness.
- These truths are found in the Bible.
- The "3 G's" (Guilt, Grace, and Gratitude) or "3 S's" (Sin, Salvation, and Service) are helpful mnemonics.
About God
- God is a spirit characterized as all-knowing, all-powerful, and omnipresent.
The Trinity
- The Trinity refers to the concept of God existing as three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- The Bible presents God as three distinct persons while affirming the concept of one true God.
- Humans have a limited understanding of this relationship.
- The equation 1+1+1=1 is a helpful tool.
Creation
- God created everything from nothing in six days.
- Men and women were created out of dust in God's image.
- God's creation was perfect, including humans.
- Man's sin later corrupted this perfection.
Providence
- The providence of God means He upholds (provides and cares) and governs (rules over) all creation.
- Nothing happens by "chance".
Sin: Origins
- Adam and Eve were created in God's image, without sin, with a true knowledge of God, and in righteousness and holiness.
- Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil after being tempted by the Serpent (the Devil).
- They disobeyed God's command and believed the Serpent's lie that they would be like God.
Sin: Definition
- Sin is disobedience against God and failing to be what God created us to be.
- It is defined by God’s law: to love God with all our being and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
- "Our neighbor" includes anyone in need of help that God places before us, as they are also made in God's image (as demonstrated in the Parable of the Good Samaritan).
Sin: Consequences
- All descendants of Adam inherit his guilty and depraved nature, known as Original Sin.
- Actual sins are actions or thoughts directly against God's word.
- God's hatred of sin results in the punishment of death, both physical and eternal (for those who do not repent and believe).
The Natures of Christ
- God sent Jesus to save people from their sins.
- Jesus had to take on two natures, fully human and fully God.
- Jesus became fully human to satisfy God’s justice against sin; a human had to die since humans sinned.
- Jesus had to be fully God to live a perfect life, fulfill God’s law, bear the full weight of God’s wrath, and not die for His own sin.
The Offices of Christ
- Jesus fulfilled three Old Testament offices: prophet, priest and king.
- Prophet: He taught the Word of God.
- Priest: He made the ultimate sacrifice for people’s sins.
- King: He rules over His people and defends them from their enemies.
The Suffering and Death of Christ
- Jesus bore the full extent of God's wrath on the cross as our substitute.
- He continues to sit at the right hand of God, interceding for us as our mediator.
