About This Course
Growing as a Christian: A Lifetime of Faithfulness is Foundation Course #7 in TrueWords+ Foundations. It brings the entire Foundations path together and teaches believers how to keep growing for decades—not merely for a few emotional weeks after salvation.
What you will learn
- How to keep salvation by faith completely distinct from discipleship, maturity, good works, reward, and usefulness.
- What spiritual growth actually is, why saved people can remain immature, and how Scripture calls believers toward stability and Christlike character.
- How the Word of God, prayer, church, fellowship, and walking in the Spirit work together in ordinary Christian life.
- How temptation develops, how to use the way of escape, how confession restores honesty in fellowship, and how discipline protects usefulness.
- How to fight worldliness without withdrawing from people, and how to develop biblical love, gracious speech, forgiveness, humility, and service.
- Why good works matter greatly after salvation, how reward differs from salvation, and how to steward time, money, abilities, possessions, and work.
- How trials can mature a believer, how to respond after failure, how to teach others, and how to remain fruitful into old age.
- How to build a life that can someday say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
Why this course matters
Many Christians begin with excitement but never build the habits, doctrine, character, and relationships required for a lifetime of faithfulness. Others confuse growth with salvation and live in fear that every failure proves they were never saved. This course refuses both errors. Eternal life is the gift of God received by faith in Jesus Christ. Christian growth is what believers should pursue because they are saved.
The lessons deliberately move from doctrine to daily life. You will be asked to compare Scriptures, examine motives, think through difficult distinctions, identify weak habits, and make practical changes. The goal is not merely to finish another course. The goal is to become a believer who can keep learning, keep serving, strengthen other people, and remain useful to God for a lifetime.
All Scripture quotations are from the King James Version. The course is free and publicly readable. A My TWBC account saves lesson progress, final-exam results, the completion certificate, and the TrueWords+ Course Ribbon.
