The Heart of The Gospel Message

1. What does it mean for man, in his natural state, to be "dead in trespasses and sins"?

2. What is meant by Paul’s expression that God "made us alive together with Christ"?

3. What is "grace"? What is "faith"? When Paul declares, "...by grace you have been saved through faith, what is the theological importance of these two prepositions?

4. From where does faith originate?

5. What is the role of good works in the life of the believer?

6. Define "legalism" and "antinomianism" and explain why each is a deadly error that strikes at the very heart of the gospel.
