This book is part of a series with 16 Bible studies of basic teachings for followers of Jesus. This book covers the first four teachings; The fear of God, Faith, Repentance, and God's plan of Salvation. These studies are a resource for personal growth or a tool to share with others individually or in a group setting. The following is a brief overview of previously mentioned topics: Fear. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and is also the beginning point on our journey to know God. As we approach God, we must first understand that He is Almighty, supremely Holy, and will not tolerate sin, and we are the polar opposite. He desires to have fellowship with us, but our sin is an obstacle that separates us from him. The more we understand the distance between his infinite holiness and our utter sinfulness, the more we will grow in our fear of the Lord. Faith. How important is our faith? Our eternal future depends on where we place our trust. Regarding eternity, the only thing that matters is what you believe about Christ. This study provides evidence for the existence of God and that Jesus was the promised Messiah and the only salvation for mankind. Faith has evidence from many sources, God's creation, prophecy fulfilled and confirmed by archeological and historical records, testimonies of the prophets and patriarchs, miracles, signs, wonders, and the apostle's witness of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Faith is like a journey, and each experience of our faith builds on the previous ones. In the process, we change and grow in our understanding of God and ourselves. Repentance. The nature of fallen man is to stray away from God, and even blood-bought born-again believers can stray from God. But through repentance, we turn around to get on the right track and seek God. Whether a lost soul in the pit of despair, lukewarm pew sitters flirting with the devil, or an entire nation with a cloud of judgment hanging overhead, it is only humble repentance that can move us from guilt and condemnation to becoming the object of God's mercy and forgiveness. Salvation. For many Christians, when you say the plan of salvation, they will automatically go into "cliché mode" and parrot the same shallow standardized canned responses. In this study, we go from Genesis to Revelation and explain God's plan of salvation. That plan began in eternity before the world existed when God planned for Christ to be the lamb slain, and he wrote the names of the redeemed in his book of life. We show why we need salvation, how we cannot save ourselves, and why Christ is the only one who can save us. This study will help Christians have a greater appreciation for the person and work of Christ and equip them to share their faith with others. Because we are in the end times, our world is changing quickly to line up with Bible prophecy. Jesus said the signs of his return would be like birth pangs, growing in intensity and frequency and globally. All those signs happen at once, and we can see them happening in real-time with wars, food shortages, pandemics, shutdowns, and natural disasters, all leading to a one-world government ruled by the antichrist. Also, there will be a great falling away from Christ, with churches becoming perverted, politically woke, and government-controlled. Eventually, all true believers will have to come out of the dead institutional denominations and fake churches. Thank God we have a blessed hope that Jesus will rapture the church before wrath and judgment hit the earth! While we have time and freedom, we should study the scriptures, share the gospel, and learn to live by faith. This book is part of a series of basic teachings that all Christians should know and teach. We call it the "toolbox series" because each study is a tool for you to share your faith with others.
