Please memorize the above verses in conjunction with this lesson. You will be asked to write them out from memory at the conclusion of the lesson. WHAT IS THE BIBLE? PART 1: THE OLD TESTAMENT What is the Bible? Most simply, it is the Word of God to mankind. In the Bible, God explains Himself to us and teaches us about life, death and eternity. Those who believe the Bible and live by it, find peace and contentment; those who ignore it, struggle and wander. Voltaire was a famous French philosopher and an atheist. He died in 1778. Before his death he said that the Bible and the Christian faith would not be believed in 100 years. On the 100th anniversary of his statement, the Geneva Bible Society purchased Voltaires printing press and house and started to print Bibles there. Two hundred six years after Voltaire, the President of the United States declared the year 1983 the year of the Bible. The Bible has endured because it has answers to our needs. Millions of people are looking for a reliable voice of authority. They have found that they cannot trust treaties between nations, they cannot trust the statements of scientists, and even the great religious leaders are often wrong. The Bible--the Word of God--is the only real authority we have. Proven across the years, the Bible sheds light on human nature, world problems and human suffering. But beyond that it clearly reveals the way to God. Adapted from Power For Living copyright 1983, Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation. In this series of lessons, we will consider what the Bible contains, what the study of the Bible will accomplish in our lives, and several important principles to help us understand the Bible. The Bible is a history book, but a very special one in that it is written by God Himself. Within the pages of scripture are the events of human history, from creation and ancient times through the age in which we live, and out into the future... all the way to eternity. CREATION 1. (Gen. 1-2) Please read. ______(check) 2. (Gen. 1:3-2:3) For each day of creation, give the activity of God on that day. Day 1 _______________________________________________________________________________ Day 2 _______________________________________________________________________________ Day 3 _______________________________________________________________________________ Day 4 _______________________________________________________________________________ Day 5 _______________________________________________________________________________ Day 6 _______________________________________________________________________________ Day 7 _______________________________________________________________________________ 3. (Gen. 2:18-24) Genesis chapter 1 gives the big picture, i.e., tells the whole story of creation in broad strokes. Gen. 2 puts a spotlight on certain parts of the creation event. Read Genesis 2:18-24 and answer the following questions: (vs. 18) What problem did God see, and what did He determine to do about it? _____________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ (vs. 21.22) Describe the way woman was created. ____________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ THE SIN OF ADAM AND EVE 4. (Gen. 3) Please read. ______(check) 5. (Gen. 2:16,17) What command had God given to Adam? _______________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 6. (Gen. 3:4,5) What lie did the serpent tell Eve? _______________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ The suffering which now exists in the world is a result of the sin of Adam and Eve. Scripture holds us all guilty of this sin, see Romans 5:12. The explanation for this is that Adam was the head of the human race. As his descendants we were literally in him when he sinned. See Hebrews 7:9-10 and compare with Genesis 14:1-20. 7. (Gen. 3:14- 19) List several parts of the curse which God brought against creation (vv 14-15) Against the serpent ___________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ (vv. 16) The woman ____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ (vs. 17-19) Adam ______________________________________________________________________ Note: Our world today is suffering and is called by the Apostle Paul a groaning creation (Rom. 8:22) because of the entrance of sin and the resulting curse. In Genesis 3:21 we see that God provided Adam and Eve with coats of skins to cover their nakedness. This shedding of animal blood became a way by which man could have, if he chose, a relationship with God. The story of Cain and Able in Genesis chapter 4 shows that some, like Abel, would obey God, while others, like Cain, would rebel. 8. (Gen. 4) Please read. ______(check) THE GREAT FLOOD 9. (Gen. Ch. 6,7 and 8) Please read. ______(check) 10. (Gen. 6:5-7) Why was God sorry that He had made man, and what did He determine to do? ___________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 11.c (Gen. 6:14-16) A cubit is equal to 18. On a separate piece of paper, sketch your Idea of what the ark might have looked like. NOTE: Based on the great size of the ark, it has been calculated that this vessel could easily have carried the number of animals required, especially if some specimens were not full-grown. 12. (Gen. Ch. 9,10) Please read. ______(check) 13. (Gen. 8:21) What promise did God make after the flood? _______________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ (Gen. 9:11-13) What sign did He give of this promise? ________________________________________ 14. (Gen. 9:1-6) What commands did God give to Noah? (Gen. 9:1) _____________________________________________________________________ (Gen. 9:3-4) ____________________________________________________________________ (Gen. 9:5b-6) ___________________________________________________________________ THE TOWER OF BABEL 15. (Gen. Ch. 11) Please read. _____(check) (Gen. 11:1-4) Gods command to Noah had been to multiply and fill the earth (Gen. 9:1). What did man do instead? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 17. (Gen. 11:8,9) What judgment did God bring _________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Genesis 1-11 constitutes one major division of the Bible. This section overviews ancient history, from creation to about the year 2000 BC.. Many events are mentioned in very little space. God has given us the highlights in order that we might understand Him, ourselves and our world. In this section God was dealing with the whole world. While man, consistently demonstrated, his sinful nature and his inability to obey God. Genesis 12 begins a new section of the Bible. With the call of Abram around 2000 BC, God began to form one special nation. He will bless this nation greatly and He will reveal many new things to them. They will be His chosen people. God will first bless them and then through them, He will bless the entire world. This people is the nation of Israel. THE CALL OF ABRAHAM 18. (Gen. 12) _____(check), (Gen. 15) _____(check), (Gen. 17)____(check), Please read. 19. (Gen. 12:1-3) List any three of the promises God made to Abraham: 1) ___________________________ 2) _______________________________________ 3)_________________________________________ 20. (Gen. 15) How does God describe the number of Abrams descendants? (v. 5) ______________________ (v. 6) What was Abrams response to Gods promise of many descendants? ________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ (v. 18) Give the boundaries of the land promised to Abram. _____________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ THE NATION OF ISRAEL IS FORMED The promises of God to Abraham were passed to his descendants. Abrahams son, Isaac, inherited the promises (called the Abrahamic Covenant). When Isaac died, his son, Jacob, inherited the Covenant. 21. (Gen. 28:10-17) Please read. ______ (Check) (vs. 11,12) What did Jacob see in his dream? ________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ (vs. 13-15) What promise did God make to Jacob? ____________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 22. (Gen. 32:22-28) Please read. ______(check) What did Jacobs name become? _________________________ NOTE: The nation of Israel did not exist until this moment. Jacob became Israel. He had 12 sons. Ten of those sons and two of his grandsons became the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel. Thus, a nation was born. THE OLD TESTAMENT: THE STORY OF ISRAEL Most of the Old Testament records the history of Israel, from the call of Abraham to about 400 BC. This story can be expressed very simply; God chose out a nation and blessed them greatly. At times, they were obedient and God used them mightily. In the overall analysis, however the nation failed God through disobedience and was judged. 23. (Exodus 19:5,6) What did God promise Israel if they would obey Him? ___________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 24. (Deut. 28:1-68) Please read. (vs. 1-14) ______ (check), (vs. 15-68) ________ (check) This chapter helps us to understand the entire Old Testament. Here, Israel was promised blessing for obedience, or a curse if she disobeyed. The Old Testament records that Israel disobeyed and came under the curses prescribed in the Law. The history of Old Testament Israel draws to a close with the book of Malachi. The prophet Malachi, whose name means my messenger, wrote around 425 BC. He calls attention to the sins of the people, predicts judgment and also gives a message of hope: the Messiah, who will purify the nation and return it to glory, is coming. 25. (Malachi Ch. 3,4) Please read. _________(check) (Malachi 3:1) This verse speaks of a messenger who will come to prepare the way. After this messenger, who will come? ___________________________ This is one of many references to the Messiah in the Old Testament, the Anointed One who will save Israel from sin and restore her to world supremacy. 27. (Isaiah 9:6,7) List any three names given to the Messiah. 1) _____________________________________ 2) _________________________________________ 3) _______________________________________ 28. (Isaiah 11:6-8) In your own words what will some of the conditions be like on earth when the Messiah rules? _____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 29. (Isaiah 53:1-12) Please read. _______ (check) This is a prophetic portion of scripture because when Isaiah wrote it, he was speaking of a future event (vs. 4-6). According to verse 5, why was the One spoken, of to be wounded (pierced-NIV)? __________________ __________________________________ Stricken (Crushed-NIV)? _____________________________ (vs. 6) What would God lay on Him? _______________________________________________ 30. (1 Pet. 2:24-25) What did Christ do on the cross? (v. 24) _______________________________________ 31. (1 Cor. 15:3,4) Why, according to Paul, was Christ crucified? ___________________________________ The Old Testament is the story of mans failure to obey God because of his sinful nature. There are some bright spots and there are godly men and women in the Old Testament; but in the overall picture, we see a dismal record of sin, failure and judgment. Through the gloom in the Old Testament, however, shines a ray of hope in the many prophecies of a coming Messiah. This one would bear our sins, and through Him we would find forgiveness and eternal life. The New Testament is the story of the coming of this Messiah and the forgiveness and life which He brings. The next lesson will cover the New Testament and conclude this birds-eye view of the Bible. 32.
