Class 11 ppt
This document provides guidance on properly interpreting and understanding Scripture through three "dials": 1. Coming with humility and allowing Scripture to shape us rather than our own preconceptions. 2. Understanding the historical and literary context of the time as well as the author's intended meaning. 3. Studying theology, particularly the character of God as described in the Bible - including attributes such as love, wrath, mercy, etc. - and ensuring our understanding aligns with the God portrayed in Scripture.

- 13. Romans 6:1-4 What shallwe say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
