Unlocking the Bible Story: New Testament Volume 3 (Volume 3) - Softcover
Synopsis
For all who are wondering how the pieces fit into the jigsaw of God's revelation, Colin Smith has provided an answer, which is refreshingly simple, biblically accurate, and will prove phenomenally helpful to the serious Bible student and the new beginner alike. — Alistair Begg, senior pastor, Parkside Church
In Unlocking the Bible Story, Colin Smith moves gradually through portions of the Bible to explain how it all holds together. In so doing he tells God's one grand story of salvation and reflects on major themes along the way. In volume 3 he moves through the Gospels and Acts, which form the climax of salvation history and reveal our role in God's story. Curious about the interpretive center of all of Scripture? You'll find it here.
Includes the study guide formerly sold separately.
One of the most urgent needs in the church today is for a crisp and comprehensive knowledge of the Bible's storyline. To grasp how the sacred history moves from Genesis to Revelation not only brings fresh insight into how the Bible hangs together, and what each part contributes to the whole, but also is crucial for developing a Christian worldview. Colin Smith has met these needs admirably. I hope these volumes will circulate widely and be read and re-read. — D. A. Carson, research professor New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, cofounder of The Gospel Coalition

If the prophets represent God's To Do list, then the Law-all the commands given to Moses, including the Ten Commandments-represent our To Do list. In the Law, God tells us what he requires us to do. Jesus makes it clear that He did not come to abolish the Law. The Law of God will stand until heaven and earth disappear, and that hasn't happened yet! So it would be a grave mistake to think that God was concerned about the Law and righteousness in the Old Testament, but that somehow He changed His focus and switched to grace and forgiveness in the New Testament. The whole Bible is one story. God has always been gracious and forgiving, and His Law stands forever.
