Introduction...
When walking out
of a dark room into the sunshine, light can be blinding. As our eyes
become accustomed to the light, we can see more clearly and enjoy
the scenery that surrounds us. Likewise, when we look into the light
of the scriptures, the brightness of truth can sometimes hurt.
However, as our spiritual eyesight becomes adjusted we can enjoy
"walking in the light".
This Bible study is designed to allow us to "walk" into the
marvelous light of the Word of God. We will be journeying into the
scriptures by imagining we are back in the days of Jesus and the
Apostles, listening to them teach and preach the plan of salvation.
In order to do this, we will be careful to "rightly" divide the word
of the truth (2 Timothy 2:15) by concentrating on the highlights of
the three main divisions of the New Testament in chronological
order, including:
1. The Gospels
- covering the words and works of Jesus Christ
2. The Acts of the Apostles - covering the actions
and preaching of the Apostles
3. The Epistles - covering the letters written by
the Apostles to the churches they started in the
Book of Acts
We believe the scriptures are divinely inspired and, "of no private
interpretation" (2 Peter 1:20-21). Therefore, every effort has
been made to present the pure Word of God without adding to, or
taking away from its teachings (Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:5-6).
It is not our intention to diminish any personal relationship you
may have with our Lord. Neither do we desire to convince you of our
own personal ideas or the creeds of any denomination. We simply
desire to share the truth as it is written. Only by claiming the
Bible as our sole authority can any of us be confident of our
salvation, for it is the Word of God and not the traditions of men
that will judge us all in the end.
Let us read 2 Timothy 3:15-16 as we begin our
journey into the Word of God...
And that
from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
