The Story of Jesus
6 Things That Jesus Believed

(Lesson 37)

Introduction:
 

         1. God wants His people to continually grow in the knowledge of His Son (2 Peter 3:18).
         2. In John 5:39 Jesus gave the key to achieving this growth.
         3. As we search the Scriptures to increase our knowledge of Christ, we learn that He believed certain
             things and that He had strong convictions about them.
         4. In our lesson we are concentrating on "6 things that Jesus believed."
         5. We are studying these things because many people reject them.
         6. In order to be true followers of the Lord we must have the same convictions He had.
         7. Let us begin our study by going back to the beginning.
