Method Used in Won by One
The Won by One Bible Study Course provides a systematic means of teaching the Word of God through an organized study program. An individual is taught on a weekly basis, one hour a week. As the Word of God is sown in the heart of an unsaved individual, the Holy Spirit uses the Word to convict of sin and bring that person to repentance and salvation. The Won by One Bible Study Course is designed in such a way that opportunities are given throughout the course for an individual to accept Christ as personal Savior.
The Won by One Bible Study Course is divided into two sections: “Basic Bible Doctrines”, and “Instructions for the Believer”. In teaching the course to an unsaved person, begin with lesson one, “The Scriptures”. If, for example, that individual accepts the Lord as Savior when studying lesson one, skip to lesson fourteen, “Assurance of Salvation”. Continue studying through lesson twenty-four, then go back to lesson two and continue through the remainder of the Won by One Bible Study Course.
When the Won by One Bible Study Course is taught to an individual who is a new convert, begin studying with lesson fourteen, “Assurance of Salvation”. After completing the lessons through lesson twenty-four, go back and study lessons one through thirteen.
If, however, the course is being taught to an individual who has been saved for a rather lengthy period of time, but who is not well grounded in Bible doctrines, it is best to begin with lesson one and study consecutively through all the lessons.
In teaching the lessons, the question and answer method is used. Each lesson contains a series of questions and Bible references. The answers to the questions come directly from the Bible. Some students may prefer to fill in the answers during the Bible study session hour; others may write in the answers prior to the Bible study session hour. The teacher's responsibility is to explain the answers to the questions, interpret these answers, and make practical applications, and apply spiritual principles to the life of the student.
Won by One Bible Study Sessions
Won by One Bible study sessions are usually conducted in the home of the student. There may, however, be conditions which would make this an impossibility. In such cases, it is advisable to conduct them in the home of the instructor, in the church, or some other place.
Each Bible study session should be only one hour in length. It is helpful if a telephone call is made ahead of time reminding the student of the Bible study session. The instructor should arrive promptly at the designated hour.
