Foundations of Faith: 13 Lessons

Basic Christian beliefs and practices explained from a Reformed perspective for new believers.

Introduction

Welcome to the Foundations of Faith series. These 13 lessons are designed to help new believers understand and grow in the essential truths of the Christian faith, rooted in Reformed theology. Each lesson builds a foundation for a strong and lasting relationship with Christ.

Christian Foundations of Faith - Bible-centered learning

Lesson 1: The Bible – God’s Inspired Word

The Bible is God’s inspired and infallible Word. It reveals His nature, His plan for salvation, and guides how we should live. Regular Bible reading is essential for spiritual growth.

Lesson 2: Who Is God?

God is the eternal Creator, sovereign over all things. He is loving, just, holy, and faithful. Understanding God’s character helps us worship and trust Him fully.

Lesson 3: Who Is Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ is God’s Son, fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again to give us eternal life.

Lesson 4: The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who regenerates, indwells, and empowers believers to live godly lives.

Lesson 5: Sin and Its Consequences

All humans are sinners by nature and choice, separated from God. Sin leads to spiritual death and eternal separation unless forgiven.

Lesson 6: The Gospel – Good News of Salvation

The gospel is the message that Jesus Christ died for sinners, offering forgiveness and eternal life through faith in Him alone.

Lesson 7: Faith and Repentance

Salvation requires faith — trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior — and repentance — turning from sin to God.

Lesson 8: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

These two ordinances symbolize and strengthen our faith. Baptism shows our union with Christ, and the Lord’s Supper commemorates His sacrifice.

Lesson 9: Prayer – Talking to God

Prayer is essential communication with God, including praise, confession, thanksgiving, and requests.

Lesson 10: The Church – God’s Family

The church is a community of believers who worship, serve, and grow together. Being part of a local church is important for spiritual health.

Lesson 11: Sanctification – Growing in Holiness

Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit transforming believers to be more like Christ in daily life.

Lesson 12: Suffering and Trials

Christians will face difficulties, but God uses trials to strengthen faith and produce perseverance and hope.

Lesson 13: The Return of Christ and Eternal Life

Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead. Believers will enjoy eternal life with God, free from sin and sorrow.

Conclusion

These 13 lessons lay a solid foundation for your faith. Study them prayerfully and seek to apply these truths in your daily walk with Christ. Join a Reformed church community for fellowship and further growth.
