 Pastor Ian Traill. B.Th. The infallible Word of God the Bible is our sole basis of our beliefs. We have 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament pointed to Jesus coming the first time and many more prophecies of Him coming the second time. The New Testament covers the life and ministry of Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the establishment of His Kingdom and imminent setting up of the Father’s Kingdom. The Word of God is fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error. It is the supreme authority in all matters that are detailed in the life and ministry of Jesus as set out in these studies. As Christians, we believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Trinity) - each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity characteristics and personality. Many understand that Jesus has personality but so does God and so does the Holy Spirit, but it is by understanding Jesus and His teachings that we can get a clearer picture of God and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Therefore, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as our substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone. As you trust in Jesus it is imperative to follow in His footsteps and become a disciple of His. This book is designed to develop a firm foundation in the teachings of Jesus Christ. May Lord Jesus bless you through this set of studies.
