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 and in this lesson, we are learning about the
Book of First Timothy:
This Book was written by Apostle Paul in 65 A.D., and he was addressing Timothy. Timothy was an up and comer in the Early Church. Timothy's mother was Lois and his grandmother was Eunice. We read about these women as pioneers in establishing the Early Church(See Second Timothy 3:15).
This Book is also known as the Pastoral Epistles. Timothy was a close friend and assistant to Apostle Paul. Timothy was a member of the Missionary Team. Timothy was sent out by Apostle Paul to revisit and teach the new churches which were organized by Apostle Paul.
Paul instructed in the Book of First Timothy that the followings were being addressed to those who were pastoring over the new churches:
1. Sound Doctrine Being Preached.
2. Instructions on Worship.
3. Instructions for Leadership within the Church.
4. Importance of Godliness.
5. Instructions on Developing and Effective Personal Ministries.
6. Exhorting Others in the Faith.
What are we able to learn and apply about the Book of First Timothy:
1. The importance to be connected to others who are truly seeking God, Jesus, and
the Holy Spirit, and not just dogma or religion.
2. God wants things to be done in Order and Decency for His Honor and Glory.
3. We are All Called to be Leaders for Christ Jesus. Leaders in our Homes, Communities, Work, and Church. There is something for all of us to do for the Kingdom of God.
4. It is always important to follow the Pattern of Jesus within the Body of Christ and ministering to others.
5. Also, it is important to exhort each other in the Faith of God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
Cheering each other along with Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical
Encouragement can go a mighty long ways in such a time as this.
