God's Unfolding Story Of Salvation [Hardcover]

Description: No one can appreciate the size or shape of a forest without flying over top to view the big picture. The Bible is like a forest and individual books are similar to trees. Studying small portions of Scripture is worthwhile and necessary. Nevertheless one of the first steps of discipleship after salvation should be an understanding of the big picture in the Bible. God's Unfolding Story of Salvation teaches believers that the biblical storyline is Christ-centered. Often people think of redemptive history only in terms of its promises in the Old Testament and its fulfillment in the New Testament. There is much more to the story than that. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit also points to Christ through preparation for his birth, pictures or types, and anticipation. Since God's story ultimately affects each one of us, it is worth the time and effort required to understand it. If you do this, you will discover a pearl of great value. Forgiveness of sin and reconciliation with God are the greatest needs of everyone past, present, and future. This redemption story brings glory to God and benefits believers. Endorsements: Whether you are a young believer or a mature saint, immersing yourself in the study of the Scriptures is vital for your spiritual growth into the likeness of Christ our Savior. This unique Bible study, God's Unfolding Story of Salvation, carefully walks through the unfolding storyline of the Bible's redemptive history. It explores the interwoven themes and promises contained in the Old Testament and shows how they are gloriously fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
