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 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 and in this lesson, we are learning about the
Book of Galatians .
******************************************************************************************************
The Book of Galatians was written around 50 A.D. by the Apostle Paul. Paul and Barnabas had just completed their first major missionary tour to establish new churches in Asia and the Southern Region of the Roman Empire. Galatia was a part of this region.
There became an issue from the Judaizers, a group of early Christians, which believed that people could only be Christians if they followed after the Jewish Customs of the Old Testament. Apostle Paul went to Galatia to address this matter, and clean it up. Paul shared with the Judaizers about the importance of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, and that now Salvation is given to the Gentiles without Jewish Customs of the Old Testament.
The Outlines of the 6 Chapters are as follow:
Chapter 1: The Importance of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Chapter 2: Standing for the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Chapter 3: Understanding that Faith is more important than Jewish Customs.
Chapter 4: The New Covenant and Relationship with God because of Jesus.
Chapter 5: New Freedom in Christ Jesus because the Relationship with Him.
Chapter 6: The Responsibility of Living the New Life in Christ Jesus.
Apostle Paul was educating the Church of the Galatians that being under the Grace of God because of Jesus, one no longer has to try to earn the Approval of God through certain customs. Now because the Grace of God has been given to all from the Salvation of Jesus, everyone is to grow in their Faith, Love, Service, and Dedication to ABBA through Jesus, and be Free in Him. With Freedom, there comes certain responsibilities, and to honor and respect this awesome Freedom given to all by Jesus.
