| Is the source of all we need to know about God and His plans for us. “Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another – showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 |
Is the reason God sent His Son, and the reason we can come to Him. “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ dies for us.” Romans 5:8 “Love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy, and love others as well as you love yourself.” Mark 12:30-31 |
Is a love dialogue between God and His People “Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 |

Is how we grow in our love and knowledge of Jesus Christ, His will and His ways. “We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. He keeps us in step with each other.
