Study Two: The Saviour

In Study One, you learned that:

Jesus Christ is God and the Creator of all things.

God has revealed to men His holy commandments.

All men are sinners because they have transgressed God’s Law.

Men love darkness rather than light.

The consequence of sin is death, judgment, and eternal damnation.

Although the whole Bible is the Word of God, the Gospel according to John and the Epistle to the Romans were given specifically to show how you could receive eternal life. Once again, this study is confined to these two Books. Any reference to other parts of the Bible will be written out for you.

29. Please write out any questions or comments you have about this study

Thank you for completing this second study. We hope it was informative and helpful to you. It has taken the subject of eternal life a step further by focusing on the Lord Jesus Christ, Who bridged the infinite divide between sinful man and a holy God with His outstretched arms on the cross. The SAVIOUR paid your great debt of sin by becoming the sin-bearer. He took your place, and purchased salvation through the shedding of His blood. I Peter 3:8 explains:

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.”

This is indeed good news! Great news, in fact! The third study will introduce you to the great SALVATION that is offered freely to all through the Lord Jesus Christ. Please continue reading through the Gospel of John and the Book of Romans in while working on study three.
