It’s human nature to pursue truth and to find answers to the big questions that plague our minds. Answers come to us in many forms through the world religions and other philosophical arguments. Our worldview lens impacts what we choose to believe as true. Jesus Christ claims to be “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Unlike all other world religions whose adherents work their way toward salvation of sorts, true Christianity is the only religion that offers salvation freely. The only thing you can do is to accept or reject this free gift. In this unit, students will explore the world religions, will take a look into Christianity and, in particular, the Seventh-day Adventist beliefs, and will articulate what they personally believe.
