THE BIBLE

 The Bible 

The one constant theme unfolding throughout the whole Bible is this : God for His own glory has chosen to create and gather to Himself a group of people to be the subjects of His eternal kingdom , to praise , honor , and serve Him forever and through whom He will display His wisdom , power, mercy, grace, and glory.

 To gather His chosen ones , God must redeem them from sin. 

The Bible reveals God's plan for this redemption from its inception in eternity past to its completion in eternity future. 

 Covenants , promises and epochs are all secondary to the one continuous plan of redemption.

 There is one God.

 The Bible has one Creator.

 It is one book. 

It has one plan of grace, recorded from initiation, through execution , to consummation . 

 From predestination to glorification , the Bible is the story of God redeeming his chosen people for the praise of his glory. 

As  God's redemptive purposes and plan unfold in Scripture, five recurring motifs are constantly  emphasized. 

🔸 the character of God 

🔸 the judgement for sin and disobedience . 

🔸 the blessing for faith and obedience 

🔸 the Lord Savior and sacrifice of sin 

🔸 the coming  kingdom and glory .

 Everything  revealed on the pages of both the OT and NT is associated with those 5 categories. 👆

Genesis 8 - bible study

 God remembered Noah and his family and the living things in the ark. God sent a wind and the waters receded. The rains stopped. After 150 days the water had gone down. The ark came to rest on the Mountains of Ararat. The waters continued to recede until the tenth month. There was a window in the ark.  🕊️ After 40 days Noah opened the window and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth. Then he sent out a dove. The dove returned as there was water on the surface of the earth. After seven days he sent the dove out. It returned with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. He sent out the dove after seven days and it didnot return. When the earth's surface was dry God asked Noah and his family and all the  living creatures to come out of the ark. Then Noah built an altar and sacrificed clean animals and birds on it. Then God said He would never again curse and destroy the earth as He had done.

Spirit of God - In the beginning & end of bible

 The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2   And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!"  Revelation 22:17  The Holy Spirit is a divine Person and is engaged in all the activities and purposes of the Godhead equally with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit has also taken a place of intimate association with all those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ. These two features of the Holy Spirit can be seen on the first page and on the last page of the Bible. On the first page of the Bible we see the Spirit hovering over the waters. The word "hovering" is actually the same word used to describe a mother eagle when she is hovering over her young as they learn to fly (Deuteronomy 32:11). The Holy Spirit is seen moving in vital creative power over the face of the world. The work of creation was declared "good." But man, who was created in the image of God, and was the pinnacle o
