Discovering the Biblical Path to Spiritual Renewal and Freedom from Sin's Bondage.

This course presents a comprehensive examination of Christian theology regarding sin, repentance, and salvation. The series establishes repentance as a cornerstone of Christian doctrine, defining it as a deliberate turning from darkness to light through faith in Jesus Christ. The teachings explore the multifaceted nature of sin, characterizing it as wilful disobedience to God's laws that leads to both spiritual and physical death. Central to this theological framework is the explanation of Christ's sacrificial death as the necessary payment for humanity's sins, fulfilling God's requirements for justice and holiness. The lectures also delve into the complex spiritual anatomy of humans, consisting of body, soul, and spirit, explaining that upon being "born again," only the spirit becomes instantaneously righteous while the body remains susceptible to sin. This creates an ongoing tension between the flesh and spirit in believers' lives, as described in Romans 7:14-25, with the solution being to "walk in the Spirit" rather than yielding to physical desires. Throughout these teachings, the interconnected themes of repentance, sin's deadly nature, Christ's redemptive work, and the spiritual transformation of believers form a cohesive theological narrative about Christian salvation and sanctification.

This course is meant for all audiences. No previous theological study is required or expected, for it is intended to give a basic understanding of what the bible says about the subject of Repentance in Christian Doctrine.

Michael Maher will lecture from the bible, to walk the student through this subject. As a supplementary resource, this course can be taken in tandem with reading Michael Maher’s book, Repentance from Dead Works.

I trust the material and the dialogue with other students will be encouraging and enlightening.
