Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us that there is nothing more important than becoming like Jesus. The life of Jesus not only shows the full picture of who God is, but He also shows us what it means to be human. He is the quintessential man. In Him we see what a perfect relationship with God looks like, what our moral outlook should be, and what constitutes a good and worthy life. Through the ages, the church has confirmed that the Bible is both the standard and the guide that instructs, confronts and inspires us in the process of following Jesus. The way we see, understand, and experience God, ourselves, and the world around us should thus ultimately be based upon what the Bible teaches us. This Bible School course is therefore intended to help you to build your life around the Word of God.
