THE KEY TO THE BIBLE, STUDENT - 2nd SESSION

GET ACQUAINTED - What do you for a living and what do you enjoy most about it?

 

Last time we saw that the New Testament reveals _________ at the center of all revelation, and that His work in accomplishing ______________ is the pervasive theme of the Bible.  The history of redemption has recovery and restoration of the creation as its ultimate goal.

What insights will you bring to share?

 

 

8. When, where, and how was redemption accomplished?  Rom.4:25

 

2 Cor.5:21

 

Explain the dilemma of how God can remain righteous and forgive sin. Rom.3:9-26

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Explain how God resolves the tension between judging sin and forgiving the sinner.  2 Pt.1:1 & 1 Jn.1:9

 

 

 

 

 

9.  Besides redeeming enslaved people, glean from the verses below other things God has done for us through Christ.  Define the terms, using a dictionary where needed.  Try to find examples illustrating the idea of each term in the Old Testament.  The use of paraphrases such as the New Living Translation is not recommended for this exercise.  (see appendix F)
