Faith is our natural graced response to encountering God’s revelation of Himself.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Church

    (n.): The name given to the assembly of the People of God whom He has called together from all the ends of the earth. It is both the earthly institution established by Christ during His earthly life to mediate the gift of salvation on earth, and the heavenly communion of all the saints together with God and His angels.
  • Covenant
    :
    (n.): A sacred permanent bond of family relationship. God entered into a series of covenants with His People throughout Salvation History to invite us to be part of His divine family and to prepare us gradually and in stages, and in words and deeds, to receive the gift of salvation.

  • Baptism
