ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 1

Experiencing a Relationship

Teaching points

  • Christian faith begins with receiving God’s grace in Jesus. Knowing Christian information and trusting Christ are related, but they are not identical.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Ephesians 2:8–9
  • John 1:12

Reflect

  • How would you explain the difference between earning acceptance and receiving grace?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Write a short explanation of the gospel in your own words.
