"RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH"......
Study to shew thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
While all of the Bible is written for us it is not all written to us. Most
of the Bible deals with the nation Israel which are Jews. Paul is the Apostle
to the Gentiles and his writings are to us, the Church which is Christ's body.
THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE ARE ARRANGED IN THE ORDER BELOW
MATTHEW IN THESE BOOKS WE FIND: THE LIFE OF CHRIST (BIRTH - LIFE - DEATH - BURIAL - RESURRECTION) THE TRAINING OF THE DISCIPLES TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM GOSPEL SENT TO THE NATION ISRAEL Matt 10 MIRACLES, SIGNS, AND WONDERS Matt 16:17 LAW OF MOSES IS OBSERVED Matt 23 SALVATION IS BY FAITH PLUS WORKS. Matt 19:16
