Abundant Living (2 ECTS)

Description

Abundant Living: A Study of Christian Character is a practical course of study from Galatians 5 and related Scriptures. It emphasizes the development of Christian qualities and their outworkings in the Christian’s relationships and service. Biblical definitions and examples are emphasized in describing the nine dimensions of spiritual fruit, and practical applications are made which relate these characteristics to the individual Christian life. The course will help the student understand the principles of Christian fruit-bearing and the necessity for the progressive development of a Christlike character for effective Christian service and an abundant life in the Spirit. The student will be encouraged to make a commitment to develop the qualities of Christian character in his or her life and to display these qualities in his or her everyday experiences.
