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 New Church. The first four books of the New Testament are 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 Book of First Corinthians and in this lesson, we are learning about the Book of Second Corinthians .
******************************************************************************************************
The Book of Second Corinthians is after the Book of First Corinthians. This Book was written by Apostle Paul around 57 A.D. The City of Corinth was one of the finest cities in Greece during this time. Corinth had existed for many centuries. Its' residents included: Jews, Romans, and the Corinthians. The Corinthians liked to live up, and were known for sexual immorality, partying, and etc.
One of the early churches was established in the City of Corinth. They were not following a true godly life as Believers in Christ Jesus, and word of this behavior had came back to Apostle Paul. He addressed the Book of First Corinthians to their behavior.
In the Book of Second Corinthians, Apostle Paul takes a different approach with this Church wich is outlined below for you. He begins to share the Promise of the New Covenant which is made and through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Here is the meat and potatoes of the Book of Second Corinthians:
Chapter 1, preparing the Corinthians that there is trials and suffering in being a Christian.
Chapter 2, Apostle Paul expresses deep love for the Church of Cornith, and continues to encourage
to follow after the Doctrine of Christ Jesus.
Chapter 3, In Ministerial Work, Apostle Paul seeks that everything is done with Truth and Transparency
therefore not to hinder others and disrespect God and His Kingdom.
Chapter 4, Never lose heart when going through trials. Remain faithful to God no matter what.
Chapter 5, Apostle Paul explains the New Covenant through Jesus and that Jesus fulfilled all the
Covenants of the Old and New Testaments.
Chapters 6 and 7, The Ministry of the New Covenant is explained and how it show worked within the
Church and the Ministering of the Gospel.
Chapters 8 and 9, The Purpose of Giving of Money, Time, and Talents for the Kingdom of God.
Chapter 10, Apostle Paul explains that Meek does not mean weak. Goal is to grow in Spiritual Maturity.
Chapter 11, The Remembrance of being a Servant, the Church is not to exploit Believers & Others.
Chapter 12, Apostle Paul goes over that even in our weaknesses, we are made strong through Jesus.
Chapter 13, Closing out this Letter or Book, Apostle Paul reminds the Church of Corinth, to be steadfast
in the Lord, and be like minded, and the Grace and Peace of God will follow.
In the Book of Second Corinthians, we learned the importance of the New Covenant that is brought to us and given to us through Christ Jesus. We are under the New Covenant. This means that all the Promises and Blessings which were given to the Children of Israel, we are entitled to because Jesus gave His Life for us to have the John 10:10 Life now and forever. Apostle Paul explains this in the Book of Second Corinthians in Chapters 5-7. We want to grow in Spiritual Maturity and learn and continue in the things of our Heavenly Dad today and always.
