SECTION 3.7 NKJV

MAIN IDEA Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith. When we understand who He is, we learn how utterly helpless we are on our own. We can choose to accept the gift of salvation through Him and can then learn how to live a life of love and grace to others by following Christ’s example. NKJV
