St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology
Lesson One Objectives:1. To learn the "big-picture" overview of the Bible - the story that the Bible tells.2. To understand the concept of "covenant" and its importance for reading and interpreting the Bible.3. To learn in general detail the six major covenants in the Bible.
1. The big picture overview of the Bible, for me, is summed up in one word, Love. The Bible tells us that God loves us and that we should love God in return.
I suppose this is a covenant.
2. The concept of covenant is a reciprocal relationship. In this case, it is considered a family relationship, sort of an "adoption". God has adopted us as His children.
3. I'm not certain, but I think they left out the 7th and greatest Covenant of all. When, after the Judgment, Christ gives all which exists back to the Father.
If you count that, there are 7 Covenants.
Did I pass? What d'ya mean that wasn't the test?
Sincerely,
De Maria
