FBB1-5-3-01 Repentance From Dead Works

The principles of the doctrine of Christ start with the feelings of shame of one’s works before God.   Then with a person’s reformation from these shameful works, a person is motivated unto godly faith (thus inheriting God’s promises) as shown by their resulting good works.

FBB1-5-3-02 Faith Toward God

When a person knows that their sin will subject them to the wrath of God, they are then convicted to seek eternal life and escape this wrath. Then they come to know that there is salvation from God’s wrath through His Son Jesus Christ. They believe that the sacrifice of God’s Son will take away sin’s sentence from them. They then commit and trust their souls to Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he made to grant them eternal life.

FBB1-5-3-04 Laying on of Hands

This lesson will concentrate on the doctrine of Christ Jesus and of the Apostles, knowing that in their time they were aware of these prior uses of administrations of the purposes of laying on of their hands.

FBB1-5-3-06 Eternal Judgement

FBB1-5-3-07 Enlightenment

The Purpose of the Light of God:  It is God’s design that a person must seek to find God. A person cannot find their Godly purpose in this life unless that person makes a conscious effort to find it.  God provides the truthful way by which a person may find Him, by spiritually illuminating this pathway unto Him.
