Correspondence Bible Study
For New Believers or Seekers
The Bible tells us, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature… 2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV
Bible Study
We have provided you with a fourteen-part correspondence Bible study so that you may begin right away experiencing “His very great and precious promises”, so that through them you may experience Jesus’ divine nature and grow in a life transforming relationship with Him. The first study is on the topic of "Salvation." These studies are simple and quite easy to understand. You are asked a bible question and are given the scripture reference to turn to, in order to find the answer. These studies are intended to give you a basic understanding of the Bible in a format that allows you to learn for yourself what is true. Additional topics include; Faith & Assurance, Power of the Holy Spirit, Trials, Prayer, Who is Jesus?, What God Expects, Virtue, Knowledge, Self-control, Patience, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness and Love.
Pray
Pray before you begin each study, asking the Holy Spirit to tutor your heart and guide you in all truth. Something like this: "Holy Spirit (or God) please reveal the truth of the Bible to me so that I may apply it to my life. I am expecting to learn from You, Amen."
In the Bible Jesus said, “But when He, the Spirit of truth , comes, He will guide you into all truth . He will not speak on his own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you”. John 16:13-15 NIV
We recommend you save each completed study in a folder on your PC so you will have them for future reference and to share with others.
Connect
It is important that you interact with a mature Christian to ask questions and share your journey. A fruit tree that stands alone will struggle to bear fruit (no bees to pollinate). Experiencing Jesus together is similar to the “cross-pollination that occurs in an orchard resulting in much healthy fruit!

Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matt 28:18-20) NIV
