Fall of 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe story of the Bible isn\u2019t primarily about the desire of people to be with God; it\u2019s the desire of God to be with people.\u201d (by John Ortberg)<\/em><\/p>\n

Course Purpose<\/strong>
\nThis course offers a concise survey of the New Testament, providing an outline and summary of each book. Building on the GracePoint Education Committee\u2019s (GPEC) goal to give students a foundational understanding of the entire Bible, this course highlights how the New Testament continues and completes God’s ultimate revelation to humanity.<\/p>\n

Philosophy and Objectives<\/strong>
\nGPEC aims to deepen the biblical knowledge of every member and attendee, equipping them with a strong foundation for personal Bible study and other GracePoint classes. We strive to make this course engaging, informative, and enjoyable.<\/p>\n

By the end of this course, students will be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Memorize<\/strong> key New Testament verses related to salvation and the assurance of salvation.<\/li>\n
  2. Identify<\/strong> the author, date of composition, and original audience for every New Testament book.<\/li>\n
  3. Comprehend<\/strong> the primary, original intent of each book\u2019s author.<\/li>\n
