Guided Notes:

Sovereignty & Submission

  • The New Testament picks up four hundred years after the end of the Old Testament.
  • In its first four books, the Gospels, we learn about the promised Messiah, God’s Son.
  • The Gospels were written by four men and represent four different points of view.
  • Jesus is the embodiment of the good news of God’s provision of salvation.

Purposes of God’s Word

  • To reveal God
    • General revelation allows everyone to have knowledge of God, but it is limited.
    • God gives us special revelation—the Bible—so that we can know Him and His gospel.
  • To establish a relationship
    • The Bible reveals God to help you and me have a relationship with Him—with the God who wants to be known personally.

Sovereignty

  • The Old Testament Hebrew word “Yahweh” is translated as “LORD.” It is God’s personal name.
  • It implies the concept of sovereignty or lordship.
  • The Greek word for Yahweh is kurios, which is translated into English as “Lord.”
  • The New Testament writers used this word in its highest sense (that of “exalted God”) when referring to Jesus.
  • In the same way that the message of the Old Testament is “God is LORD,” the main message of the New Testament is that “Jesus is LORD.”

Guided Notes:

Sovereignty & Submission

  • The New Testament continues the story of the Bible after a 400-year gap from the Old Testament.
  • The first four books of the New Testament, called the Gospels, tell us about Jesus, who is God’s promised Son.
  • The Gospels were written by four different people and give different perspectives on Jesus.
  • Jesus represents the good news of God’s salvation for us.

Purposes of God’s Word

  • To reveal God
    • General revelation gives us some knowledge of God, but it is limited.
    • God gives us special revelation through the Bible so that we can truly know Him and understand His message.
  • To establish a relationship
    • The Bible reveals God to help us have a personal relationship with Him.
    • God wants to be known by us and have a close connection with us.

Sovereignty

  • In the Old Testament, God’s personal name is “Yahweh,” which is translated as “LORD.”
  • This name shows that God is the ultimate ruler and has authority over everything.
  • In the New Testament, the word “kurios” is used to refer to Jesus, and it means “Lord” in the highest sense.
  • Just as the Old Testament message is “God is LORD,” the main message of the New Testament is that “Jesus is LORD.”
