Course Description and Goals

This course is a verse-by-verse investigation of the universal depravity and condemnation of humanity and his desperate need of salvation. The course explores God’s provision for mankind’s salvation as seen in justification, sanctification and glorification. Great attention is given to God’s provision to live the Christian life, laying a foundation for continual growth in grace and healthy interaction within the body of Christ. This course traces Paul’s vindication of God’s dealings with Israel in the scope of redemptive history, and challenges the student for practical application of doctrine.
