 INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS LOVE?
Read 1 Corinthians 13:1-7. This passage speaks about love. Without a doubt, we can
to have an idea of what love is about, through experiences with loved ones, for
what TV series, movies, romantic songs or ideas show us
obtained from some book. However, Love according to God is something much more
higher than what we have known.
After reading the quoted passage, respond:

What is love and what characteristics does it have?

We can see that love is much more than doing good works, and even
that giving oneself for others. This contrasts with many concepts
erroneous beliefs about love that are portrayed in the media, such as
for example, that "love hurts", or love manifested as a
obsessive and jealous possession of a loved object or person, or also that 'the
love is a state of temporary madness"; all these statements in the light of
the Word of God is erroneous. Now God gives us the opportunity to know.
the true love.

God created man and put him in the Garden of Eden. He authorized him to
eat from any tree in the garden, except from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

warns about what is not allowed and the consequences that
it involves transgressing God's rules.
According to Genesis 3, Adam and Eve sin by disobeying God, and

(Romans 5:12). Furthermore, humanity was deprived of the glory of God.
(Romans 3:23). Therefore, it was necessary for Jesus to come to save us.

Read Ephesians 2:1-10 and respond:

Can anyone be deserving of the salvation that God gives?

2. What is grace and what does it mean that we are saved by grace?

Jesus came to Earth and died for us to save us. Salvation does not
obtained for being 'good people' or for doing good works. Salvation is by
grace through faith, that is to say, it is a gift that God gives (without being
worthy of it) to those who believe in him (Titus 3:4-7).

ENTERING INTO SALVATION

The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the
word of faith that we preach: that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus
he is the Lord, and you believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. Because with the heart one believes for righteousness, but
with the mouth one confesses for salvation.
The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith that we proclaim; because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

By confessing that Jesus is Lord and believing that God raised him from the dead,
God grants us salvation. This is more than an event; it has to do with a
life of confessing that Jesus is Lord and believing that he lives. The word 'Lord'
It translates from Greek 'Kurios', which means sovereign in authority, master.
I love.
Read 1 John 2:1-6 and respond:
Is Jesus the Lord of your life? Why?

If your answer is no, and you want to receive Jesus as the Lord of your life,
so humbly make this prayer:

If you do it from the heart, your name will be inscribed in the book of life (registration in
the sky of the saved), and God will have given you salvation.

 Lee Santiago 2:14-26. A living faith is evident and manifests itself in our
way of acting, in our daily lives. There must be coherence between what
we believe and what we do. Faith is manifested through obedience.

WEEK 2 THE BAPTISMS

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in
the sky and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things that I have
command; and behold, I am with you all days, until the end
of the world.
Matthew 28:18-20

Jesus commands us to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them all things. He
promised that he would be with us every day.
Baptize literally means 'to immerse'. The Word speaks of
various baptisms, and each of them has a powerful spiritual meaning.
Here we will see two baptisms: the baptism in water and the baptism in the Spirit.

John 14:26 The Holy Spirit also helps us in our weakness, interceding

 THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Acts 1:4-8. Jesus, before ascending to heaven, announced to the disciples

they would be baptized in the Holy Spirit and with that baptism, they would receive power.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is another baptism, in addition to baptism in
water. Through this baptism, we receive power, and through this power, God
empowers us to do his will.
When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty wind that
it was blowing, which filled the whole house where they were sitting; and they were

baptism in the Holy Spirit manifests in other ways, such as in praising
to God (Acts 10:46) and to prophesy (Acts 19:6). With Jesus it happened that
the Spirit descended in bodily form, like a dove (Matthew 3:16). God does
things as he wants, it is important not to limit God in our
reasonings. It also happens when God wants, for which the believer
can be baptized in the Holy Spirit before, during, or after being
baptized in water. It is important to seek it, as it is in the Word.

What importance does baptism in the Holy Spirit have in our lives?

sins. But despite our sins, the Father sent Jesus to die for
we (Romans 5:8). When we believed in Jesus and repented of
our sins gave us life together with him, forgiving us all the
sins (Colossians 2:13; Ephesians 2:1; Titus 3:3-7).

8
 Repentance is not just feeling remorse, but it involves
a change in the way of thinking, mindset, attitude towards things.
When we regret something we no longer do it, and we do not approve that
someone else to do it. When we regret, we also seek to restore to the
that have been harmed by our sins (Leviticus 6:2-5; Luke 19:8-9).
EXAMPLES OF GOD'S FORGIVENESS

THE BETRAYAL OF PETER

Mark 14:66-72. Peter denied Jesus, fulfilling what he said.

before the Lord that he was going to deny him 3 times. Despite this tremendous
betrayal, Jesus once again receives Peter, becoming this one a
powerful instrument to proclaim his name (John 21:15-19;

King David saw Bathsheba, who was the wife of Uriah, and he coveted her.

our sins (Revelation 1:5), we are justified (Romans 5:9), we have

In spirit, it has to do with the communion of the Holy Spirit, with intimacy.
with God, with prayer and with our spirit.
In truth, it has to do with the Word of God, with Truth, with Jesus Christ.
A partial search for God, only in spirit or only in truth or much of
one thing and a little of the other corrupts the spiritual condition of the believer. If it is
only in spirit can lead the believer to an emotional, superstitious walk and
spiritualist, where due to the lack of limits of what is true the believer
little one, harms others and harms himself believing that he is actually
loving God and your neighbor; if so, then he is no longer truly in spirit.
If it is only in truth then the believer can assume the gospel as something
rational, marked by human structures, where the supernatural does not have
capacity, where the believer lacks the power to do the will of God and
overcome his own sin, and also lacks a living and dynamic relationship with
God; if this is so, then it is no longer really true.

WEEK 8 LOVING GOD

If you love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:15

 God wants to relate to us. He loves us and wants us to know Him.
We can do this through prayer and the Word. God also wants
that we love him with all our heart, and we demonstrate our love by keeping his Word.

the death on the cross.
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD

Lee Santiago 2:14-26. A living faith is evidenced by works. He who says that
he believes in God and does not obey Him, his faith is dead, because faith works together
with works, and faith is perfected by works.
Obedience is worship to God.

And Samuel said: Does the LORD take pleasure in burnt offerings and
victims, as in obeying the words of Jehovah?
Certainly, to obey is better than sacrifices, and to lend
attention that the thickness of the rams.
But Samuel replied: 'Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'

In this passage, God had commanded King Saul to exterminate the sinful people.
from Amalek with all that was in it, but Saul disobeyed. The prophet
Samuel tells him that for God obedience is better than offerings and the
acts of praise. This means that we cannot expect God to be pleased
of our songs and offerings if we do not first seek to pay attention to their
Word and obey Him. God delights in the praise of those who are upright, in
those who are sanctified in love for Him (Psalm 33:1).
THE LAW OF CHRIST

Matthew 5:38-48. Jesus speaks about the law that God gave in the Old Testament.
Testament through Moses. The law contained many rules that were to be
to obey, and as God established it, obeying the law was obeying God.
Now we are in the law of Christ, the law of freedom. However, despite
it was complicated to fulfill the law, to walk in love and to fulfill the law of Christ
It is something that is much more difficult.

Christ fulfilled the law, and presents us with a standard of life and obedience much
higher. According to the law it was said 'you shall love your neighbor, and you shall abhor your...

ADVANCING TOWARDS PERFECTION

It is not by our strength that we overcome sin, but it is by the work of the

After Moses died, Joshua took command of the people of Israel.
God tells Joshua to be strong and very courageous in keeping His Word
(the law), because it will make his way prosperous and he will succeed in all that he does.

Walking in the Word is walking in the blessing of God, since we do not give
room for the enemy and we appropriate the promises that the Lord has arranged in His
Word. Furthermore, we are good for others, since keeping the Word is
to walk in love and many will receive the love of God that is in our
hearts (Matthew 7:12), and by our obedience to God, he will be glorified (2
Corinthians 9:13.

Joseph pleased Potiphar, and he thought it was good to entrust Joseph with everything he had.

We see in the passage that Potiphar's wife wanted to seduce Joseph, but Joseph the
rejected many times. At one point, José found himself cornered, but he preferred

THANKSGIVING, PRAISE AND WORSHIP

WEEK 11
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
Through his courtyards with praise;
Praise Him, bless His name.
For Jehovah is good; his mercy is forever,
And his truth for all generations.
Psalms 100:4-5
If you read Ephesians 1:3-14, you will see that the work God does in our lives is
for the praise of the glory of his grace and for the praise of his glory itself.
God has done and is doing a tremendous work in our lives; He is
Well, and we can prove it in our daily lives. God deserves to be
praised, exalted and acclaimed for who He is and for what He does in the midst
ours.
THANKSGIVING

I will bow down toward your holy temple,

I will praise your name for your mercy and your faithfulness;
For you have magnified your name, and your word above all things.
The day I cried out, you answered me;
You strengthened me with vigor in my soul.
I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame. When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.

Thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude to God for his benefits.

We have much to be thankful to God for, and King David was clear about this and thus
he expressed it in the Psalms.

20
 When we pray, let us do so with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2) and also
when we make requests to God (Philippians 4:6). The food that
we eat with thanksgiving are sanctified by the Word of God and
the verse (1 Timothy 4:3-5). Good works and service to the brethren
they produce thanksgiving actions to God in those benefited, for which God is
glorified (2 Corinthians 4:15; 9:10-13).

Let us come before His presence with praise;
Let us acclaim him with songs.

Praising God is also rejoicing in Him. We can praise God through
of songs, prayers, lifting our hands, with musical instruments,
with dance, prostrating ourselves before God as a sign of humility, with applause, and everything
glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth (Luke 2:14).

We also praise God when we announce and proclaim His greatness,
