The Holy Bible Is The Inspired Word of God!
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
Since There Is No Other Inspired Revelation From
God To Man (Galatians 18-9), The Bible Is Our
Only Source Of Religious Authority.
Isnt This TRUE?

Read 2Tim 215
There Are 2 Natural Divisions
OLD TESTAMENT
NEW TESTAMENT
The Holy Bible (Word of Truth) Must Be Rightly
Divided Or Handled Correctly As We Study,
Shouldnt It? Should We Obey Everything In Both
OT And NT In Order To Be Saved? Look At Noah,
Should We Build An Ark? Look At Israel, Should
We Offer Burnt Sacrifices? Look At The Law,
Should We Make 3 Annual Trips To Jerusalem?

What Rom 71-4 Teaches

• When a woman is married to 2 men at the same time
  its called what?
• Adultery.

• But if the 1st husband dies, is she free to marry
  another?

• Also, the 1st Covenant must be dead before anyone
  can live under the 2nd!!

• If a Jew or anyone tries to live under the
  authority of OT NT at the same time, thats
  called what?
• Spiritual Adultery.

• Rom 74 Therefore, my brethren, you also have
  become dead to the law through the body of
  Christ, that you may be married to another to
  Him who was raised from the dead, that we should
  bear fruit to God.

Read Eph 215 Col 214

• When Did First Written Law Die?
• Who abolished the Law of Commandments Contained
  in Ordinances?

  of the Cross other than the O.T.
• God speaks today only through his son!
• Heb 11-2

OUR GREAT SPIRITUAL PROBLEM

• Isaiah 591-2 Surely the arm of the LORD is not
  too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
  But your iniquities have separated you from your
  God your sins have hidden his face from you, so
  that he will not hear.

Read 1Jo 34 Jas 417

• The Bible Defines SIN
• SIN is breaking Gods Law murder, stealing,
  immorality, adding to Gods Word
• SIN is NOT doing what we should not feeding
  the hungry, not worshiping, not loving neighbor,
  not obeying Gospel
• ALL HAVE SINNED (ROM 323)

I REALIZE I HAVE SINNED --- HAVENT YOU?

WHY DID CHRIST DIE?

• Rom 58 But God demonstrates His own love toward
  us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ
  died for us.
• FOR MY SINS! FOR MY FORGIVENESS!
• WHAT WOULD WE DO WERE IT NOT FOR THE GRACE OF
  GOD?
