What you will learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to explain these truths clearly and connect them to a faithful everyday life.

  1. Explain the biblical need for salvation and God’s gracious response through Jesus Christ.

  2. Describe how salvation is received by grace through faith rather than earned by religious effort.

  3. Distinguish justification from sanctification and recognize how each shapes the Christian journey.

  4. Use biblical promises to articulate assurance when feelings or circumstances change.
