Bible Study Lesson:
History of the Bible,
The New Testament
Text: Second Timothy, Chapter 3, Verse 16
There are 2 parts to the Holy Bible in the King James Version of the Bible; they are the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament has 39 Books in it, and the New Testament has 27 Books in it. There are a total of 66 Books in the Bible.
There are 14 other Books of Bible that were not included, which are called the Apocrypha, which means Hidden Books. These Books were originally in the King James Version of the Bible in 1611. These Books were between the Old and New Testament. It was decided by the Protestant Church to take out the Hidden Books, the Catholic Church has kept the Apocrypha within their Bible.
We have studied about the 10 Major Sections of the Old Testament. We are now looking at the New Testament. The New Testament is about Jesus and the Early Church. The first four books of the New Testament were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The majority of the Books of the New Testament were written by Apostle Paul. We studied the Book of Acts, the the Book of Romans, the Books of First and Second Corinthians, the Book of Galatians, the Book of Ephesians, the Book of Philippians, Book of Colossians, First Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians, First Timothy and in this lesson, we are learning about the
Book of Second Timothy:
This Book was written by Apostle Paul in 67 A.D., and this Book of Second Timothy is a follow-up Book of First Timothy by Apostle Paul. This Book is is Paul's final letter before his execution in Rome. He gives the exhortation to Timothy, his protegee and friend in the Faith of Christ Jesus.
He encourages Timothy to be a good and strong soldier of Faith, and keep fighting to advance the Early Church of Jesus and the Kingdom of God.
You will find what Paul is encouraging to Timothy in this Book:
1. In Chapter One, the Call to be Fully Committed by Faith in Christ Jesus at all costs.
2. Live the Life of Commitment, in Chapter 2. Living a Committed Life is power of the Grace of God through Jesus 2:V1-V through
our Faith, and we are grounded in the Word of Truth, and our Faith is at Work ( 2: V8-V26).
3. Chapter 3, explains about how Perilous and Dangerous it can be sharing the Gospel of Christ. Apostle Paul explains what the End
Times will look like in the behavior of mankind (3: V1-13). He then encourages Timothy to continue in the Good Characteristics
of the Lord (3:14-17).
4. Finally, in Chapter 4, Apostle Paul gives his farewell as Good Soldier of the Faith and Cross of Christ Jesus. He has fought the
Good Fight, Finished His Course, and Kept His Faith(4: 1-8). He gives a Shout Out to his fellow brethren and what they mean to
him Verses 9-22. His last written words were that Jesus be with them and Grace too.
Today, we are able to be encouraged, learn and apply all that Apostle Paul shared with Timothy in the Book of Second Timothy.
It is Battlefield Time to get maintain and help others find and get to their Promised Land/Promised Life in and through Christ Jesus.
Jesus commands us that once we understand His Gift of Love, Salvation, and Deliverance that we go out and share this Good News, like Apostle Paul and so many others did in the Early Church and now to the World (Matthew 28: 16-20). We can start with our families, co-workers, neighbors, etc. We can guard ourselves up, according to Ephesians 6:10-19), and Fight the Good Fight of Faith (Second Timothy 3:16-17) and Second Timothy 4: 1-8).
