Lesson 6 Worksheet

Please use this form for recording your research for Lesson 6. When you click submit, a copy will be sent to the email address you provide below for your reference. Another copy will go to our staff, so that they can check on your progress.

Do you remember what we discovered back in our “How to Study” lessons at the beginning of this course? It was there we learned that the best way to tackle a situa­tion like this is to look at all the available evidence before making any conclusions.

The purpose of this worksheet is to give you a chance to research the matter of HOW a person receives salvation. Therefore, your task is to read each passage carefully and put it into its proper context. Then record a short summary of the instructions (if any) which are contained in the passage relating to the matter of HOW a person receives salvation. Once you have gone through each passage then put all of the details together (like we did in Malchus’ Ear) and come up with at least 5 summary statements of what man must do to be saved. In our next few classroom lessons, we will look at these and other related passages to build upon the foundation that you will be laying with this research.

Remember as you go along that some passages will be clearer than others. Some may contain many details while others may contain almost no detail at all. The combination of all the details, AT THE END OF THE PROCESS, will give us the results we are looking for. Also, please remember to check the wording of the verses in as many different translations of the Bible as you can so that you will limit the possibility of being confused.
