Self-study Bible course with Teacher’s Guide for group study. This study is designed to assist the new believer in Jesus Christ, who wants to learn the basic teachings of Christianity and take the first steps to living a biblically-based Christian life. First Steps introduces the Christian to his or her life in Christ through the teachings of the New Testament, in the form of a self-paced question-answer course of study. A Teacher’s Guide is included so First Steps may be used as a group Bible study. The course briefly touches on fourteen areas of doctrine and the Christian life: salvation, the Trinity, eternal security, assurance of salvation, inspiration, and interpretation of the Scripture, prayer, ministry of the Holy Spirit, believer’s baptism, rapture of the church, Christian rewards, and the Christian’s life, service, and spiritual growth.Each of the seven doctrinal lessons is a self–contained unit of instruction. The theme of each lesson is announced in the lesson title. The Scripture and questions in the lesson develop that theme.
