Download or read book Core Christianity written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Growing in Grace and the Knowledge of God written by Norman Wilson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time, for the human race, is a parenthesis on the line of eternity in which the individual has the opportunity to make decisions that affect where he will spend eternity. There are innumerable religions in the world, each of which insists that their doctrines are the true means of acquiring a relationship with a superior being and a place in eternity. Large masses of people embrace the tenets of the religion to which they are exposed during their formative years and never questioning the validity of its claims. Many others have no religious models to follow. Therefore, they form their own religious belief systems. However, there are multitudes from all types of religious affiliations that are searching for answers regarding the reality of God and on what happens after physical death. They have a genuine desire to know the truth about God and the way to attain eternal life. There are others that desire more knowledge about the God of the Bible they love and serve. I have written this book to assist these groups. I have tried to provide biblical answers to questions that true searchers have regarding God. I have also attempted to furnish believers with a format to help broaden their biblical knowledge. I encourage the reader to seek guidance and revelation from the Holy Spirit.

Download or read book The Creation of Man written by Dr. Gilbert H. Edwards and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have focused on the idea of man in creation and have tried to clarify it. Perhaps there is as much confusion and uncertainty here as anywhere today, even in Christian ranks. There is confusion and uncertainty of the beginning of man, was he created as man as of today or did he evolve from an ape? Also, there are other things that confuse and seem uncertain to man that I tried to point out in this study. The idea of God is being attacked in many ways and in many quarters. But there seems to be, also, a growing recognition of man's need of God. Man within himself is helpless in the midst of hostile forces on every hand. God is man's only refuge and help in time of need. I feel that man should know about his total self, and relationship with God. I will try to point out and focus on studies of man before the world was created, the three-folds of man's nature and functional parts, his fall and punishment, and also his renewal stages and his final destiny.

Download or read book Knowing God to Make Him Known written by Ed Scheuerman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are all too familiar with the dichotomy between "being a Mary" (sitting at Jesus' feet) and "being a Martha" (being active in ministry). We have been told that before we can do, we first need to be. And this is well and good. But it is insufficient. Before we can be, we first need to know. We need to know who God is (God's attributes) so that we can then be who we are intended to be in Christ. Only then should we seek to do what he has called and equipped us to do for his glory. This book focuses on knowing God, in his many attributes, so that we can become conformed to his image, in order to do what he's called us to do to bring the gospel to the world.

Download or read book Biblical Knowing written by Dru Johnson and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of human knowledge and the consequences of error are constantly stressed within Scripture, which emphasizes the knowledge of good and evil: knowing that YHWH IS your God; knowing that Jesus is the Christ; and the goal of developing Israel into a 'wise and discerning people'. We, too, long for confidence in our understanding - the assurance that our most basic knowledge is not ultimately incorrect. Biblical Knowing assesses what Israel knew, but more importantly, how she was meant to know - introducing a comprehensive scriptural epistemology, firmly rooted in the Scripture's own presentation of important epistemological events in the story of Israel. Because modern philosophy has also made authoritative claims about knowledge, Biblical Knowing engages contemporary academic views of knowledge (e.g., Reformed Epistemology, scientific epistemology, Virtue Epistemology, etc) and recent philosophical method (e.g., Analytic Theology), assessing them for points of congruence ordeparture from Scripture's own epistemology. Additionally, Biblical Knowing explores what proper knowing looks like in the task of theology itself, in the teaching and preaching of the church, and in the context of counseling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triunity: How to KnowThat the Three Are OneGENESIS 1:1 SAYS, "In the beginning God."God is three in one. For many years, I lacked thedepth of understanding of how this could be. I accepted by faithwhat I could not understand with my finite mind.Ephesians 4:23 says, "And be renewed in the spirit of yourmind."Further study gave me a revealed knowledge of another truththat I will tie into the trinity of God. Many a time women andchildren are not mentioned in the Bible accounts. For example,Matthew 15:38 says, "And they that had eaten were five thousand,beside the women and children."As the husband is the head of the wife and children, hishousehold is a trinity. So Christ is the head of the church andGod the Father is the Godhead. The Holy Spirit is in operationfor and through the church. God the Father, Jesus the Christ,KNOWLEDGE REVEALED 23and the Holy Spirit work as one unit, as the family unit is oneworking together.To emphasize the above fact, wives and children belong tothe husband and are one in him.Genesis 2:24 says, "Therefore shall a man leave his father andmother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh."Even so, we who believe in Christ as our Savior are one in bodywith Him.God the Father, Jesus Christ the son, and the Holy Spirit, areone in the Godhead.Regarding Triunity and further revealed knowledge: A studyof Through the Bible Study with Roper Press booklets. ** Aquestion I asked myself of which I was not sure of the answerwas "should I write "Jesus" or Triunity?" I simply wrote, "JesusTri-umphant." Just then, the Holy Spirit of God revealed to methat Tri-umphant means the whole Godhead. Triunity, three inone, triumphant, Glory to God!** Harlin J Roper, Through The Bible Study, 1978 Dallas,TX: Roper Press (Used with permission).

Download or read book God s Answer to Man s Doubts written by William Ward Ayer and published by Solid Christian Books. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ours is a scientific age – a skeptical age – an age of questions. Men are bewildered, perplexed, and they can find no abiding peace. The world about them but reflects the chaos in their own hearts. We are living in an era of doubt. The author of this stimulating volume has watched men battling doubts, and in this book he shouts triumphantly, "God has the answer!” Author Ayer goes to the only source of stability in our scientific age – the Bible – and gives us Scripture’s reassuringly concrete answers to all man’s questions, doubts and perplexities. Speaking earnestly to both the saved and the unsaved, the author tells us not to listen to the strange voices in the world, the false words of man’s superficial wisdom, but to hear eagerly the true and faithful words that satisfy forever – the answer of God.

Download or read book The Truth about Man written by Paul Washer and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a guided study of God's own words, and under various systematic headings, The Truth about Man unfolds the desperate condition of humanity. As the second part in a series of rich, biblical studies, this workbook provides the reader with a no-nonsense Bible study on a fundamental tenant of the Christian gospel the lost condition of man.Like the previous book, The One True God, this workbook keeps the student engaged directly with the Bible throughout the entire study. It is intended not just to teach truth, but to lead to an encounter with the living God and a deeper understanding of the magnitude of our salvation by demonstrating man's true need of God's redemption. In this study students are encouraged to thoughtfully draw conclusions from the Scriptures rather than to merely absorb the principles, inferences, and illustrations set before them by the author. For this reason the book includes very little of such material and instead focuses on digesting the Scriptures directly.Learning in this way, the reader is set on a firm foundation and will readily perceive the centrality and high authority of biblical doctrine within the Christian life. The study of doctrine is both an intellectual and devotional discipline. Therefore students are encouraged throughout the study to think through and apply the truths they learn, meditating on the demands of Scripture for their heart and mind. The book puts us squarely in the middle of the material and requires we give searching thought to God's assertions about man.The Truth about Man is especially suited for the following contexts: (1) doctrinal training for new and old converts, (2) college and adult group Bible studies, (3) private study, (4) Christian or home school curriculum, (5) Sunday school material, (6) an aid to parents in teaching the Word of God to their family.

Download or read book The Openness of God written by Clark H. Pinnock and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voted one of Christianity Today's 1995 Books of the Year! The Openness of God presents a careful and full-orbed argument that the God known through Christ desires "responsive relationship" with his creatures. While it rejects process theology, the book asserts that such classical doctrines as God's immutability, impassibility and foreknowledge demand reconsideration. The authors insist that our understanding of God will be more consistently biblical and more true to the actual devotional lives of Christians if we profess that "God, in grace, grants humans significant freedom" and enters into relationship with a genuine "give-and-take dynamic." The Openness of God is remarkable in its comprehensiveness, drawing from the disciplines of biblical, historical, systematic and philosophical theology. Evangelical and other orthodox Christian philosophers have promoted the "relational" or "personalist" perspective on God in recent decades. Now here is the first major attempt to bring the discussion into the evangelical theological arena.
