Biblical Training
Online Biblical Training University
Every believer is called to take advantage of opportunities to grow in the faith. The scriptural mandate is clear: Christians are to “study to show [themselves] approved unto God to rightly divide the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). Believers are to be prepared to “defend the faith…and give every man an answer” (1 Peter 3:15). Study courses led by seminary-trained professors and gifted teachers offer students the opportunity to grow in spiritual understanding and develop skills necessary for effective service unto the Savior.
The world needs well-trained disciples—Our theology school offers a seminary experience without the seminary cost. Today's world needs first-class ministry leaders who understand the Old Testament and the New Testament—believers who can skillfully teach spiritual precepts and proclaim the Gospel message.
How Biblical Training Can Provide a Solid Foundation for Ministry and Strengthens One’s Faith
Having the Word of God “hidden in your heart” (Psalm 119:11) helps one overcome times of trial and temptation. Scripture notes that understanding the Bible facilitates wisdom, peace, comfort, and effectiveness in ministry. Our online classes help individuals engage in deep study and reap the benefits of understanding God's Word.
This article profiles the importance of biblical training and presents an overview of our online Bible Training University.
The Significance of Jesus Christ in Biblical Training
Can a person be saved and go to heaven without having studied the Bible? Yes. However, Scripture notes that the Word is precious. Believers are called to study, cherish, and share the Word. Believers are called to share truth, and we must know the Word to know the truth.
The Role of Jesus Christ in the Study and Practice of Biblical Training
Scripture notes, "Jesus is the author and perfector of our faith." He is the focus of our faith, and the Bible is our authoritative source of truth. Believers should seek out Christian educators and strive to be equipped to teach the Lord's precepts because:
- Only in His name can we find forgiveness.
- Only in Him can the weary find hope and salvation.
- Only by his sacrifice and resurrection was the gift of the Spirit made possible, which comforts and equips believers for service today.
Understanding Jesus Christ Can Provide a Solid Foundation for Ministry and Personal Faith
Paul often wrote of the preeminence of Christ. To the Colossians, he wrote: “...He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He...[should] have first place in everything" (Col. 1:17-18).
At the heart of good theological training is an understanding of Jesus, for He is the focus of our faith. Old Testament Survey courses illuminate the foreshadowing of Jesus, who is revealed in the New Testament. Bible training that emphasizes the centrality of Jesus in our spiritual walk strengthens the Church for Jesus is the firm foundation and cornerstone of our faith.
How Biblical Training Focused on Jesus Christ Helps Individuals Grow in Their Personal Faith and Ministry
A brief listing noting how completing classes in biblical studies is beneficial follows:
- It imparts information on the enemy’s nature, schemes, and desires.
- It increases one’s ability to discern truth from error.
- It helps the weary find rest and the weak find strength.
- It provides a defense against spiritual attack.
- It prepares believers for every good work.
Scripture reveals the devil is a formidable adversary. He is the Father of lies (John 8:44) and a master deceiver. Christians worldwide must remain vigilant. The enemy will use deception and confusion to discourage and destroy. Being interested in church history, in theology, or in studying the New Testament are good steps toward being able to thwart the enemy’s attempts to steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10). Our courses do that and more. Those who complete our classes in theology will be equipped to serve and to become world-class leaders for Christ.
