Getting ready for June 5th and 12th Part 2

If you have not finished reading Romans Chapters 3,4, and 5 please do so it will get your mind and spirit ready for the lesson.

Also discuss the following with someone or just answer for yourself for this week as we move into a Study of Salvation by Faith::

• Discuss whether or not you believe this statement--- Your personal righteousness is either Insufficient for your salvation or Irrelevant for your salvation
• What is it that you have Faith in that resulted in your salvation?

Preparing for June 5th and June 12th

June 5th and June 12th we will be examining the concept of Saved by Faith using Genesis 15:6 as a starting point.

Other things you need to read to prepare yourself for the class:

• Romans 3 and 4
• Galatians 2:16-3:29
• Isaiah 43:22-25

Also I think you should take a moment and think about or write down how you were saved.  What is the means by which you were saved and how is that salvation secured eternally?

If you have difficulty completing that activity then come prepared to discuss or ask questions.

Take care until June 5th!
