Did you know...?

That God is Love as evidenced by the Creation He has given us.

Also that God is love as evidenced in the instructions given us in His Word.
That the Bible is made up of 66 books...
.
Written by at least 40 different inspired men...
..
Spanning 1500 years in the writing...
..
Yet all in agreement with no contradictions...
..
With 3 different dispensations.
..
The Patriarchal, the Mosaical, and the Christian,
..
the last of which we are under.

..It has two major divisions,

..the Old Testament,

..and the New Testament.
..
The Old Testament has 39 books,
.
and is divided into 5 books of Law,
.
then 12 books of History of the Jews,

then 5 books of Poetry,

..then 5 books of Major Prophecy,

..then 12 books of Minor Prophecy.

..The books of Prophecy are only so called because of length, not based on importance.

The New Testament has 27 books,

.and is divided into the 4 Gospels,

..then the 1 book of the History of the Church, which is Acts,
,
then Paul's Letters or Epistles from Romans to Philemon,

..then the Other Letters or Epistles from Hebrews to Jude,

..then the one book of Prophecy in the New Testament, Revelation,

..written to warn Christians of the upcoming destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans,

..and of Christ's Second Coming.

..Most imortantly, do you know we will be judged by His Word?

..Revelation 20:12

..He will not be giving us a phone call

...or sending an e-mail

...that we might have time to get ready.

...1 Thessalonians 5:2

...He expects us to be ready.

....I am so greatful our Creator and Redeemer has given us a guide to follow!!

...Let's all be studying to really know God and His wonderful will for us.

......Happy Spiritual Sunday!

...Warmly, Debbie
