This document provides an introduction to a Christian literature course. The first lecture discusses the concept of salvation. It defines salvation as being rescued from danger or evil. It cites two Bible verses, Romans 10:9-10 and Romans 10:13, that discuss how believing in one's heart that Jesus is Lord and calling on his name will lead to salvation. The lecture teaches that whoever believes in and worships the name of the Lord will be saved through Jesus, who died for humans' sins so they may be saved by believing in him, admitting they are sinners, and committing their lives to following him. The document concludes by posing discussion questions and offering a sample prayer.
