English Notes

Short Notes in Chinese >>> 教會歷史（主後30–2000年）

The study of church history helps us to know and value our Christian heritage. By understanding past problems that the church has encountered, we are warned to avoid falling into the same errors today. By recounting God’s providence in history, we are motivated to give all glory to God. By witnessing sacrifices and toil of past saints, we are inspired to follow their example and live a holy and spiritual life.
