UNIT INFORMATION

Application

This unit applies to individuals working in Christian communities who need to understand and present information on specific theological themes and issues relevant to the specific community.

INTIMACY WITH GOD

One of Jesus’ primary revelations was of God, a Father. In the Garden of Eden, God was put in the position of being a judge. However in Jesus He re-establishes His primary relational mode as Father. He is reconciled to all humanity. When we accept His reconciliation our identity, spiritual inheritance and friendship with God change dramatically...’old things pass away and all things become new’. He is intentionally devoted to releasing in us a confidence that He is extravagant in His ongoing pursuit of our freedom in Him. Come for a life-changing experience and discover the joy of deep friendship with Him.
