Introduction to the Book of Genesis
Welcome to the beginning of a new teaching series on the Book of Genesis. But before we jump into studying the text, let’s go over some preliminary material first.
Did You Know? | No Forgiveness to Sinning Angels
In Romans 9:15, Paul states a powerful principle of election, that is, of salvation. It is by the will of God. We all have heard of the angels that sinned along with Satan. Mankind also sinned – even now (even the saints of God [Romans 3:23]). But God only offered forgiveness, redemption and salvation to mankind, but NOT the angels. Join me in this wonderful discussion.
What did the Old Testament saints believe to be saved? | Genesis 15:1-6
It is sometimes said that the Old Testament saints believed in Jesus to be saved. That is, they were looking FORWARD to Jesus and the cross as the means of their salvation. But is that accurate? However, saints have always been saved “by faith”, what was it that the Old Testament saints had to believe to be saved?
Do you have to believe Jesus is God? | John 8:21-24; Exodus 3:14
We believe that in order to be saved, we must believe in the Person and work of Jesus. As to His person, that He is the Messiah, the anointed One of God. And as to His work(s), that He lived, was crucified and resurrected from the dead. But, what is the “nature” of His Person? Do we have to believe that He is GOD to be saved? Let’s study John 8:21-24 and Exodus 3:14.
