BASIC BIBLE DOCTRINES | LESSON 5 – “Jesus, Our Saviour”

INTRODUCTION

The question is often asked, “What is God doing about the problem of sin and suffering in the world?” In this study guide we will be looking at what God has done in response to sin and how it affects every human being on planet earth.


1. What was God's response to the problem of sin? What solution did He offer to humanity? John 3:16“For God so ___________ the __________, that he gave his only ___________________, that whosoever ___________ in him should not ____________, but have ____________________.”

love world

Begotten son

believeth

perish

Everlasting life


2. At what point did God take the decision to give His Son for the salvation of the world? 1 Peter 1:18-20“Who verily was _________________ before the ______________ ___ _______ ______________, but was manifest in these last times for you,”

foreordained

foundation of the

world


NOTE:

God took the decision to give His Son as a sacrifice for our sins even before the world was created. For God knew that because He created man with a free will, the possibility exists that man could sin. That is why Adam and Eve did not die immediately after they sinned, because the plan of salvation was activated as soon as they sinned (see Rev. 13:8; 2 Timothy 1:8-10).


3. When was this plan of salvation first revealed to man? Genesis 3:15

“And I will put __________ between thee and the ___________, and between _____________ and ______________; it shall bruise thy _____________, and thou shalt bruise his ______________.”

woman Thy seed

Her seed

NOTE:

God's plan of salvation was first revealed in the Garden of Eden, when God came to question Adam and Eve about what they had done. The “Seed of the Woman” refers to Jesus Christ, who would “crush the Serpent's head” (See Galatians 3:16; Romans 16:20; Revelation 12:5).


4. Though the Son of God did not come into the world until approximately 4,000 years after creation, were the people who lived before His coming given the opportunity to believe in Him? 1 Corinthians 10:1-4

“And did all ____________the same spiritual ___________; And did all _________________the same spiritual ___________: for they drank of that ____________________that followed them: and that Rock was ______________” (see also Luke 24:44-46; Hebrews 4:1, 2; John 8:56; Isaiah 9:6, 7; Acts 10:43).

NOTE:

Yes, they did. Through the sacrificial system and the teaching of the prophets, God spoke to the people about the coming Messiah—in whom they could find forgiveness of sins, even before He came to die.


5. Was the Son of God born into the world at the time He was promised? Galatians 4:4

“But when the ______________ of the time was come, God _________________ his Son, ___________ of a woman, made ________________________,”

NOTE:

Jesus took our sins upon Himself and died in our place. He suffered as if He was the One responsible for the sins of the whole world. For the Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).


8. Was Jesus only a Man; was He God; or both? Philippians 2:5-7

“ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the ______________________, thought it not robbery to be ______________ with God: But ________________of no reputation, and took upon him the _________________, and was made in the _________________ of men:”

NOTE:

Jesus was God, dwelling in human flesh. He veiled His divinity with humanity, so that He could experience the life of a human being—to face and overcome temptation as a man (see Hebrews 2:14-17; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:1-3; 14). Therefore, He was both God and man.


9. What does the Scripture mean when it refers to Jesus as a Lamb “without spot or blemish”? 1 John 3:5

“And ye know that he was _______________ to take away _____________________; and in him is no _________________.”

NOTE:

In order to be our substitute and sacrifice, Jesus had to be sinless, and He was (see also 1 Peter 2:21, 22). Therefore, He was able to offer up Himself as a perfect and acceptable sacrifice for us.


10. As a man, did Jesus gain the victory over Sin, Satan and Death for us? Hebrews 2:14“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of _____________and ___________________, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through _____________ he might ______________ him that had the power of death, that is, the ____________________;”

11. What should we do, in order to experience the salvation that Jesus brought to us by His death? Acts 2:37, 38

“. . . .Then Peter said unto them, _________________, and be ________________every one of you in the name of ________________for the ________________of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the ______________________.”

NOTE:

In order to truly benefit from what Jesus has done for the world, each person must decide in their heart to renounce the sinful ways of the world and accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord (see also Acts 16:30, 31). We will study more about how to be saved in the next lesson.
