I hope all of you are
having a good start to this new year and that studying the scriptures and
learning more about the Savior and how to live to glorify Him were included on
your list of new year resolutions. My
life is still in a state that doesn’t allow consistent time for working on the
blog, but I am still praying for all that find their way here and praying that
you will find information that is helpful in your study of
scriptures—especially as it pertains to the study of prophecy. I hope you are also taking this time to go to my website and utilize the resources provided there.
As I was lying in my bed
last night listening to J. Vernon McGee, he made reference to the many lists he
had seen that identified the most important chapters in scripture. Personally, I’ve never seen such a list, but
I couldn’t help but immediately starting to compile one in my head; and
I thought I would share my thoughts with you.
Genesis 1 – Tells us how we
and our world came into being.
Genesis 17 – Establishes
God’s eternal, unconditional covenant with Abraham and his descendants
through Isaac,
a son birthed by Sarah.
Exodus 20 – Gives us the 10
Commandments, the foundation code of morals.
Isaiah 53 – The primary
prophecy of God’s plan of redemption through the crucifixion of the Messiah.
Daniel 9 – The primary
prophecy given to Daniel that is the key to understanding end times prophecy.
Matthew 24 – Most detailed
account of Jesus’ teaching regarding the future and the signs that would
precede His return to establish His Kingdom on earth.
John 3 – The way to eternal
life as explained by Jesus, the Savior, “the only begotten Son of God.”
Romans 8 – A chapter that, I
think, best summarizes solid theology and provides so much hope and comfort to
the child of God.
1Corinthians 15 –
Identifies the gospel in a nutshell, establishes the importance of the
resurrection of Jesus, and introduces the truth of the teaching known as the
rapture.
Revelation 19 – The prophecy
that details the return of the Lord Jesus as King of kings and Lord of Lords.
Any input?
