From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is One Book
Manage episode 457864999 series 3437881
In this lesson we look at Genesis 1-3 with the creation of the world, the start of humanity, and the fall of humanity. Then briefly went through the Bible and acknowledged that even though God gave the law and the prophets, the problem has been we all have a sin nature, which was why we needed a Savior, the Lord Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God, the Son of Man, and the Son of David, and even in John (20:28) He is declared God, so only He could pay the price for our sins by dying on the cross for us. The New Testament books tell us to love God and love others like the Old Testament books do. The New Testament tells us we are to obey God and keep His commandments, like the Old Testament does, but the difference is that believers in Christ, now have the Holy Spirit within us. Believers in Jesus are forgiven of their sin, and Jesus has taken care of the sin problem, so now we can obey the Lord. The prophetic book of the New Testament, Revelation, shows us a picture of when the Bride of Christ is complete, and we are all fully made perfect. The old things have passed away, and God has made everything new. There is no more death, mourning, crying, pain, curse, or shame. As the writer of Hebrews put it in 11:39-40, "These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with US would they be made perfect!" All because of Jesus!
