 The Official List of Biblical Books: Canonicity

Opening Prayer:

Jesus, you were a member of a faith tradition

that was already thousands of years old. Help me to
discover my roots in the long tradition of the Church
and make my faith more a part of my life. In a time that
seems to be without real goals or ideals, challenge me to
find mine and to dedicate my life to their achievement.
Help me to have something of true value to give to those
who will come after me. +Amen.

Peace and Goodness! This will be your first lesson on this subject. This
module would be an entry point for you to have a deeper encounter and
relationship with God. You will also discover some new concepts and
recall some past learning you already have. At the end of the week, I
am hoping that you will be grateful for what you will acquire and
experience and be motivated to learn more in Christian Living

III. WORD OF GOD

Matthew 7:24-27

“Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them

will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The
rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on
that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded
on rock.”

Everyone hears these words of mine and does not act on

them will be like a foolish man who built his house on
sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew
and beat against that house, and it fell – and it

Guide Questions:

1. What are we supposed to do upon hearing the Word of God?

Upon hearing the Word of God, we are supposed to understand it deeply and act on it after.
Listening to God must involve God's Word and the Holy Spirit working together in the mind and
heart of ours.
2. What are the two things compared in the reading?
The two things that are compared in the reading are those who act and not act on the Words of
God. Their consequences were stated.

Upon hearing the Word of God, we must act on it in order to exercise our faith.

effect and challenge for all us. It is also an opportunity for you to see what really the sta

Now, since we are already done exploring and understanding the Word of God,
let us now deepen our encounter with Him through our topic.

IV. DEEPENING

After reflecting on the word of God, watch # 1 entitled “Canonicity” for the deepening and
lecture on tons of topics. This video will give you the ana of how and why the Bible has its
official books and will give you the meaning of Canonicity.

Video # 1: Before watching the video, try to be mindful and capture the important ideas about
the topic.

A. Points to Ponder

Before we move on to the deeper encounter with Jesus:

Module 1 CHRISTIAN LIVING 1 4|Page

  Open your book to pages 12-13 for you to see if you got
something from the pre-recorded lecture video.
 Write your answers on short bond paper and attachment to this module.

1. What factors did you consider in choosing the one you care about most? Elaborate your
answer. The factors that I considered in choosing the one I care about most are my
feelings, their roles and importance in my life.

2. What difficulties did you encounter in choosing the one you care about most? The
difficulties that I encountered in choosing the one I care about most are their value and
importance to me because it is really hard to choose something over something that has
the same value to you.

Link/Lecture: Making a choice is not always easy. The reason

perhaps is that we are not sure if our decision is right. Our heart
sometimes contradicts what our mind says, and we are in a dilemma.
We find it difficult to make choices because we are also afraid to fail.
This being the case, we should always decide and make a stand.

The same thing happened with the canon of the Bible. The Church had
to decide which books were to be included in the official list based on
the doctrine of inspiration and not for any other reasons or
considerations.

Let us see first see if you were able to follow or understand the topic. Answer the
Activity 1 on pages 15-16 of your book.

 Give one reason that the Church has to protect the Canon of the Bible.
One reason why the Church has to protect the Canon of the Bible is because it
contains the scriptural books that God has given his people, distinguished by
divine qualities, church reception, and apostolic connection.

VI. VALUING

 How can we influence today’s young people to develop a love for the Word of
God? What value is being shown by your actions to influence them?

We can influence today’s young people to develop a love for the Word of God by
inviting them to be a part of catechism. We can also influence them online by
posting quotes and Word of God since most today’s young people are on their
phones, scrolling through social medias. The values that are being shown by my
actions to influence them are support, personal growth and improvement.

gadgets that you have. Check the box that corresponds to your answer. Write your

VII. FRANCISCANISM

“I have been all things unholy. If God can work

through me, He can work through anyone.”
–St Francis of Assisi

Closing Prayer:

Compassionate One, we are relational beings who thrive in the care and
kindness of our kin. May our families be places where we can find comfort,
counsel, and understanding, where we can increase in wisdom, stature, and
favor before You. May our schools be communities where the language of care
is spoken, where life is recognized as an unearned gift, and where conviction is
taught with clarity and passion so that everyone entrusted with life will cherish
and protect it. We ask this in the name of your Son and our Brother, Jesus
Christ. +Ame
