Jesus Christ is God. This is the key to the moral life, this is the key to
fulfilling our most important job of saviong our souls. God became man in
Jesus Christ to teach us, from the mouth of God, how to please God in this
life and the next.
YOUR TASK: HOW DO YOU PRESENT JESUS TO PEOPLE, HOW DO YOU LET PEOPLE KNOW
THAT HE IS THE ONE WHO SAVES OUR SOULS? WHAT DOES HE TEACH, WHAT DID HE DO?
YOUR TASK WILL BE BASED MUCH ON THE BIBLE TO STUDY WHAT MAKES JESUS' MESSAGE
AND PERSON SO IMPORTANT THAT HE BECOMES THE KEY TO SAVING ONE'S SOUL.
REMEMBER: KEEP A HANDWRITTEN RECORD AND NOTES OF ALL THOSE SITES YOU REVIEW,
WHAT YOU DISCOVER, WHAT BOOKS YOU READ ETC. YOUR HANDWRITTEN JOUNRAL SHOULD
INCLUDE WEB ADDRESSES, TITLES OF ARTICLES, KEY WORDS, SUMMARIES OF WHAT YOU
READ AND YOUR OWN REFLECTIONS. KEEP ALL THIS NEAT AND TIDY.

and Jesus relate to saving our
souls?
4) How are the natural law, Jewish law, and Christian law related?
5) Have there been heresies (wrong teachings about Jesus) that give the
wrong understanding of our
most important job?

job we have and how Jesus
corrects those in error?
