The Holy Scriptures contain the greatest treasure you'll ever find. They have the power to change condemned mortals into eternal vessels of God's glory, love, and joy. God Himself is the author, and their purpose is to lead you to Jesus-so you can receive eternal life.

This overview of Christian doctrines will teach you to use the Scriptures to understand the Scriptures. Developed to be clear and easy to follow, Foundations of Sound Doctrine is widely used by Bible students who speak English as a second language. However, this workbook is also ideal for individuals, families, Sunday school classes, small groups, and churches.

GOD'S FRUITFUL PLAN:

Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to restore people--to make them what God originally intended them to be. God is a relational being; He wants all people to know Him and fellowship with Him. In the beginning, God breathed His Spirit into man, and man became a living being. When mankind rebelled against God, the Spirit of God left them and man died spiritually. But at the appointed time, Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead as a substitute offering for our sin. For those who trust in Him and believe, He paid the price for their sin. He also gives the gift of His Holy Spirit to them. This gift restores us to God's original design, and gives us the power to live the life God planned for us.
