In this post I want to give you the whole Old Testament (the first 39 books of the Bible) in a nutshell. Tomorrow I’ll be giving you the long version of this with all the Scripture references, but for today I just want to give you the bare bones outline of the Old Testament to help you get a firm grip on the big picture.
- God made a good world.
- Mankind messed it up through sinful rebellion, bringing God’s judgment on himself.
- In love, God initiated a three phase plan of salvation so we wouldn’t have to die for our sins.
- The Old Testament covers phases 1 and 2 of this plan.
Now re-read that at least 3x…I’m serious…do it. Right now 🙂 This will set you up for success in reading and understanding the other posts I’ll be making this week.
