OUR ORGANIZATION AND THEOLOGY
OUR ORGANIZATION
GTBS is not an organization but a Bible study system developed by Mailis Janatuinen while she was working with students
in the Japanese KGK and in the Finnish OPKO. The work of these movements is affiliated with IFES
(International Fellowship of Evangelical Students).
A group of volunteers is working for Glad Tidings Bible Studies in many countries on non profit basis.
The questions on this website are free for use, you can print and copy them as much as you like.
OUR THEOLOGY
The questions are based on Gospel texts, rather than on any specific theology.
Our conviction is that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and its centre is the death and resurrection of Jesus. GTBS belong to conservative and evangelical mainstream of Protestant churches.
GTBS IS BASED ON QUESTIONS
There are ready made questions
From all four gospels.
Altogether 120 central texts have been selected
to be used as evangelistic Bible studies for reaching new people
but the questions are inspiring for Christians as well
and available in more than ten languages, with new translations coming all the time.
WHY ARE THEY CALLED GLAD TIDINGS BIBLE STUDIES?
“Glad Tidings” means “good news”, or “the gospel”. We try to find the cross of Jesus from every text.
The main purpose of a Glad Tidings group is to help you and your friends meet the living Savior and hear his voice as he speaks through the gospel texts.
Through these questions you will meet Jesus in every phase of his life: in the manger, on the roads of Galilee,
on the cross, after his resurrection. You will see him forgiving sins, performing miracles, teaching parables.
And you will experience him forgiving your own sins and giving comfort and help to you personally in your present situation.
OUR MOTTO
Jesus says: WHERE TWO OR THREE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER IN MY NAME, THERE I AM AMONG THEM. Matt.18:20.
