Course Begin Date: 10/6/20             Course End Date 11/24/20

COURSE DESCRIPTION

If you have put your trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work alone to save you, is your salvation eternal and secure? Or can eternal life be lost, given back, or forfeited? Are believers in Christ on divine probation with their destiny uncertain, or will God’s grace and power keep them saved forever? These are the crucial questions which this course will answer from the Bible in clear and concise terms.

If you are unsure of your eternal salvation and want to know with certainty that you are going to Heaven when you die, or if you are a relatively new believer in Jesus Christ as Savior and need to become established in the faith, or if you’ve been a carnal Christian and want to find your way back to fellowship with God, or if you have struggled with life-long addictions and need a firm foundation for assurance and practical victory, or if you have known and grown in Christ for a number of years and need further encouragement and edification, this course will greatly help you by clearly and faithfully explaining God’s Word on this crucial subject.
