Target Truths to discuss at home:

• The Word of God was written as God put His message into the minds of holy men who wrote down His words.
• God the Father is a spirit without a physical body. God the Son came to earth in a physical body. God the Holy Spirit lives in the Holy Spirit lives inside the body of every Christian.
