Before You Begin
It's been said that what you believe is how you behave. That is, what you believe about God, His written revelation, the Bible, and His ultimate revelation, His Son, will define how you live your life. My goal for this book about what the Bible teaches is to help give you a better understanding of the key teachings that are critical for your growth as a Christian. While all of the teachings in the Bible are important because they all communicate what God wants us to know about Him, there are some teachings that are more foundational than others. The question, of course, is this: Where do you start?
I have written The 50 Most Important Teachings in the Bible to help provide you with a "starting point." These 50 teachings will guide your initial study of major themes such as...
God as the Creator of the universe and His dealings with man Jesus' relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit The nature of the Bible as the written revelation of God God's solution to the problem of sin The ministry of Jesus and the Holy Spirit God's plans for the future, including the end of time
