The most important question you’ll ever answer—How do I become a Christian; what does it mean to be saved?
How you respond to the answer to the questions in the title is the most important answer to any question you will ever make. It will literally decide your eternal destiny. There are many ways to answer this question and here are some:
The most simple answer is: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.”
Though this does cut to the heart of salvation, other than a death-bed or battlefield or other traumatic response, it is worthy of such a life-changing question to explore your answer in more detail. Following are some ways to do this– [Read more…]

LESSON–The Good News of Salvation in Jesus, why you need it and how to make it yours, links to podcast, video, notes
In planning my upcoming lessons, I felt the Lord was telling me to go back to the basics of the Christian faith.
First of all, this means to clarify the meaning of salvation in Jesus. If we aren’t clear, if we don’t have a saving, eternal, personal relationship with Jesus, nothing else ultimately matters. I was reminded that Jesus said, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?” On a personal level the answer is pretty obvious. Regarding the Bible805 ministry, the Lord reminded me that even if I help you understand the content of every book in the Bible from the lessons, if you can have the prophet and Kings timelines understood and in order and my books help you read that Bible—if I haven’t clarified the meaning of salvation in Jesus and helped you find it, I’ve failed at the most important part of my calling.
The challenge isn’t limited to me personally. How well does your church clarify this to your community?
I asked A.I. for a random reivew of the websites of 20 churches in my area and to flag them if they had a place on their website that answered the question, “What do I need to do to be saved?” “How do I become a Christian?” –the wording did not need to be exact. If this information could not be found on the site, I asked for a label “information not available.”
I got a reply of “information not available” for 17 out of 20. A.I. was very generous in that the three that did mention how to become a Christian, it had to be inferred from either a statement of faith or a “What we believe” section. A simple explanation of This is what you need to do to become a Christian was not available on any of them.
In addition to simply not talking about salvation, it seems that there are many dangerous messages floating about that reduce the process of accepting the gift of salvation, however tangentially it might be mentioned to grabbing the goodie of a carefree life with no repentance, commitment, or counting the cost. And such a response leads to believers who experience disappointment and sometimes anger when God doesn’t do what they thought He was supposed to do.
To clarify all that surrounds the topic of salvation, I did the lesson that follows, and created a number of additional resources, including infographic handouts, to help explain it. I also wrote a short book, The Good News of Salvation in Jesus, why you need it and how to make it yours. This lesson is a condensation of the content of that book. You can download a free PDF of it from the www.Bible805Academy.com site or order it in paperback format from Amazon.
Following is a link to the podcast and video of the lesson, downloadable notes, discussion guide, and an infographics file, plus a link to the resources to teach it that are available on the Bible805Academy.com. Please first of all, check this out for yourself and then pass it on to others who need to know Jesus. At the end of this post is a ZIP file that contains 3 infographics in PDF and jpg formats that explain the process of salvation.

The Good News of Salvation in Jesus
Why you need it and how to make it yours
By Yvon Prehn
We could all use some good news. In a world filled with uncertainty, disappointment, and unanswered questions, the good news of salvation in Jesus offers lasting hope: forgiveness, a restored relationship with God, purpose for today, and eternal life with Him.
But what does that mean? Why do we need salvation? What did Jesus do for us? How do we respond—and what happens after we become a Christian?
In this short, approachable book, Bible805 founder and Bible teacher Yvon Prehn walks readers through these important questions with clear explanations, everyday illustrations, and teaching from the Bible. Whether you are exploring Christianity for the first time, have attended church but still feel unsure about salvation, or want to explain your faith to someone else, this book provides a welcoming place to begin.

Revive your interest in the Bible—fascinating facts about prophecy, God and time, & and why the Bible is like your favorite novel
Revive your interest in the Bible 
This lesson challenges us to see the Bible not as a scattered collection of loosely related writings, but as one coherent story with God as its primary Author. Its structure follows the movement of a great story—from creation and humanity’s rebellion, through God’s preparation for redemption, to the climax of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and finally to Christ’s return and the New Heaven and New Earth. The lesson also explores how true history, predictive prophecy, and progressive revelation support the unity of the Bible. Because God is outside of time, He can reveal His plan across centuries while working through many human writers. The lesson concludes by asking where each of us fits in God’s great story and urges us to know the Bible well, obey it, and faithfully live the part God has given us.
Following are the podcast, video, and lesson handouts.

The Bible, Human or Divine? Three Reasons we know God really is the author of the Bible
This lesson covers a lot—how true history is the foundation for our trust in God’s authorship of the Bible, how it validates both predictive prophecy and progressive revelation, the place of freewill in God’s sovereign plan, and finally how there is One voice in the Bible.
As I was putting all these topics together I was in awe of how beautifully our God has arranged His Word and how the more we study it, the more our trust in it can grow.
I was also overwhelmed with the implications of how the topics fit together—particularly how important it is to see the entire historical span of history and how predictive prophecy fits into it. The lesson includes a newly created infographic of prophecy, the Biblical writers, and world history—I hope you’ll find it as exciting as I did to see how God works through it all.
I hope it makes sense—this is a topic I want to explore more deeply and I’ll share the results with it. Until then, check out the lesson—it will give you some ideas that you may not have considered as you grow in your trust in the Bible and that our God is truly the author of it. [Read more…]
The Bible, Human or Divine? Three Reasons why we know God really is the author of the Bible
The Bible is not just a collection of ancient texts; it’s a divine communication that offers everything we need for a meaningful relationship with God. In this lesson, we explore the question of whether the Bible is human or divine, examining three compelling reasons that affirm its divine authorship. First, we’ll look at how the Bible’s content is rooted in true history, providing a solid foundation for understanding its significance. Next, we’ll discuss the unique nature of biblical prophecy, revealing how predictions made centuries ago have come to pass, indicating an author who exists outside of time. Finally, we’ll highlight the consistent voice throughout the Bible that resonates with divine truth, distinguishing it from other religious writings.
Following are the podcast, video, and lesson handouts.
