135
Q

Content of Hebrews

A

God spoke in various ways to our fathers through the prophets, but now he has spoken His final word to us in His Son…greater than any prophet: he is greater even than the angels….It was through the angels that Moses’ law was communicated and its sanctions were severe enough: how much more perilous must it be to ignore the saving message brought by no angel, but by Jesus, the Son of God!

136
Q

Content of 1 Peter

A

Persecution can either cause you to grow or grumble in the Christian life. It all depends on your response …Growth or bitterness…In writing to Jewish believers struggling in the midst of persecution, Peter encourages them to conduct themselves courageously for…Christ. Both their conduct and their character must be above reproach. Having been born again to a living hope, they are to imitate the Holy One Who has called them. The fruit of that character will be conduct rooted in submission…to government…to masters…to husbands…to one another. Only after submission is fully understood does Peter deal with the difficult area of suffering. The Christians are not to think it ‘strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you’ (4:12), but are to rejoice as partakers of the suffering of Christ. That response to life is truly the climax of one’s submission to God.

137
Q

Content of 2 Peter

A

A challenge to stand against false teachers and teachings through personal spiritual growth. It is a call to battle spiritual error with spiritual truth.

138
Q

Content of Jude

A

The battle cry, call to arms, a commission to defend the Faith!

139
Q

BACKGROUND AND OCCASION OF WRITING Hebrews

A

A. The Nature of their Struggle: Many Jewish believers, having stepped out of Judaism into Christianity, want to reverse their course in order to escape persecution by their countrymen. The writer of Hebrews exhorts them to “go on to perfection”. His appeal is based on the superiority of Christ of the Judaic System. There is more to be gained in Christ than to be lost in Judaism.♦B. The Nature of their Persecution: The high priest Ananias was especially hard and unrelenting. He had all Christian Jews automatically banished from the holy places. That was tough. All their lives they had had access to these sacred places. Now they could have no part in the God-ordained services. They were now considered unclean. They could not go to the synagogue, much less the Temple: they could not offer sacrifices: they could not communicate with the priests. They could have nothing to do with their own people. They were cut off from their own society. For clinging to Jesus as the Messiah, they were banished from almost every sacred thing they had ever known. Though in God’s eyes they were the only true Jews, they were considered by fellow Jews to be worse than Gentiles.

140
Q

BACKGROUND AND OCCASION OF WRITING 1 Peter

A

Peter penned this Epistle in response to the news of the growing persecution of Christians in Asia Minor

141
Q

BACKGROUND AND OCCASION OF WRITING 2 Peter

A

A. When 1 Peter was written, the Church was facing danger from without, in the form of growing persecution. While that persecution had intensified by the time of 2 Peter, his readers now faced a far more dangerous enemy, one that attacked from within.♦B. “Peter wrote this epistle in response to the spread of heretical teachings which were all the more insidious because they emerged from within the churches. These false teachers perverted the doctrine of justification and promoted a rebellious and immoral way of life.”

142
Q

Timothy’s personality

A

He was youthful, and apparently timid and reserved individual who often suffered from poor health

143
Q

BACKGROUND AND OCCASION OF WRITING Jude

A

Jude was written as a defense against an early form of libertine Gnosticism. These heretics believed they were more spiritual than ordinary believers and that they possessed a special knowledge which made them superior to “unenlightened” pastors.

144
Q

Importance of Hebrews

A

Hebrews has been called the 5th Gospel. The Gospels describe what He did on EARTH, Hebrews describes what He is doing in HEAVEN. Hebrews describes Christ’s continuing ministry after His Ascension as our High Priest.

145
Q

Importance of Jude

A

Jude is the only book in all of God’s Word entirely devoted to the great apostatsy which is to come upon Christendom before the Lord Jesus Christ returns. This brief message of 25 verses is the vestibule to the Revelation…Without Jude , the prophetic picture which begins with the teachings of Christ in the Gospels and continues through the epistles would be incomplete…Jude brings the teachings of the entire Bible about apostasy to a tremendous climax. He takes us back to the very dawn of human history. We are reminded of apostasy at the gate of Eden…Our thoughts are turned to princes and prophets, to saints and sinners, to eternal fire and everlasting darkness, to the sea and to the stars, to past judgments and future glory.♦Jude tells us of otherwise unknown facts about the spiritual battle over the destiny of Moses’ body and the content of the pre-flood preaching of Enoch. He does so by referring to 2 non-canonical books.

150 miles long and 35 miles wide, the largest of the Mediterranean isles. It had 100 cities, many mountains, and fertile valleys.

154
Q

During Paul’s 1st imprisonment:

A

•He was a political prisoner awaiting trial♦•He lived in a hired house♦•He was visited by many believers

155
Q

The Cretans were the relatives of

A

the Philistines. They had a notorious reputation of being “always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies” (Titus 1:12). This testimony came from one of their own poets and prophets. The origin of the church on Crete is unknown, but it may have been started by the same returning Cretans who were present at Pentecost.

156
Q

Titus 2:13

A

declares Christ’s Diety, by calling Jesus “the great God and our Saviour” AND gives a hint of the hope of a Pre-Tribulational Rapture by calling the Rapture the “blessed hope”.

157
Q

Titus 2:11

A

declares that ALL men are drawn to and have opportunity for salvation by declaring “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.

158
Q

•He is a condemned criminal awaiting death.♦•He is in a cold dark dungeon.♦•He is forsaken by all.

159
Q

After his first Roman Imprisonment,

A

Paul was released and continued his missionary efforts, perhaps even traveling to Spain.

160
Q

Paul was rearrested, apparently in the city of Troas.

A

His arrest was probably sudden, explaining why Paul left without his cloak, parchments, or Old Testament Scrolls.

161
Q

During Paul’s time of travel after his first Roman imprisonment,

A

a severe persecution of all Christians by Rome began.

162
Q

Paul wrote 2 Timothy

A

hoping Timothy would visit him before the approaching winter.

163
Q

The insane and cruel Emperor Nero used the Christians as a scapegoat to direct suspicion away from himself after half of Rome burned in July of 64AD. Persecution became severe.

A

Out of fear for their own lives, many believers failed to support Paul after his arrest. He was abandoned by almost everyone.

164
Q

The Purpose of 2 Timothy is

A

to encourage Timothy to continue in, carry out, and pass on the work of the Gospel Ministry.

165
Q

The Early Church was not unified on the

A

authorship of Hebrews and there has never been universal agreement concerning the human author of this book throughout Church History.

166
Q

Alexandrian Tradition of the Authorship of Hebrews

A

169
Q

If Paul was not directly the Author of Hebrews,

170
Q

Old Testament Rest:

A

The Sabbath is celebrating God’s finished work of Creation

171
Q

New Testament Rest

A

To have rested or “ceased from his own works” in an attempt to earn or keep salvation”. When we place all of our trust in Christ as the only hope of our salvation, we “rest” in the finished work of Christ and from all attempts to work our way into heaven or to earn or deserve God’s favor.

172
Q

How to Endure Suffering

A

Recognize we are called to suffer.

178
Q

3 Things We Must know during our suffering so that we may rejoice:

A

Our Trials are all temporary.•Our blessings are all eternal•Trials purify our faith.

179
Q

Suffering is no excuse for:

A

Sin♦Bitterness♦Evil words♦Retaliation

180
Q

The Authority of Scripture

A

Peter declares that the written Word is surer and of greater value than even his eyewitness account of the actual Transfiguration of Christ (which is definitely more certain than any modern claim of any experience, vision, or revelation).•Scripture, not experience is always to be the source of truth and inspiration for the believer.

181
Q

Wives are to surrender to her husband’s leadership.

A

She is to be obedient.•She is to win her lost husband with her life, not her lips.•She is to be pure.•She is to be beautiful within.

182
Q

She is to win her lost husband with her life, not her lips.

A

The principal here is that those under authority, such as wives or children are to win their loved ones by having respect for their authority and with their pure testimony, not with sermons, naggings, condemnations, or even tactful sharing of the Word.♦ This does not mean that they should never share the gospel, but they should not ever (always) be sharing the gospel.

183
Q

Husbands are to surrender to the wife’s needs.

A

He is to live his life with her.•He is to learn about her needs.•He is to esteem his wife of the highest possible worth, and to treat her with dignity.•He is to honor and protect her as a more precious and fragile vessel - like a piece of fine china. •He is to recognize that her needs take priority over his own. •He is to be considerate of her more sensitive feelings.•He is to value her role s his completer.•He is to love her as a spiritual equal.♦oHe is to recognize that failure to treat her properly results in unanswered prayers.

184
Q

Baptism is not necessary for the salvation of our souls.

A

The Bible never contradicts itself.•The Bible elsewhere teaches baptism is not necessary for salvation.♦•The thief on the cross was saved without baptism long after some key “proof texts” of baptismal regenerationists (such as John 3:5) were spoken.•Converts in in Acts 10:43-48 were saved, filled with the Spirit an performing miracles (tongues) before their baptism. •The Bible often explains how to be saved without including baptism.•Notice in Acts 3:19 and 10:43, Peter himself, the author of the passage we are discussing, gives the plan of salvation and does not include baptism.•The proof texts of baptismal regenerationists don’t hold water. Just one example of this is Mark 16:16, which says “he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved”, but then clearly explains which part is necessary to salvation by saying, “but he that believeth shall not be damned.”

185
Q

The Bible elsewhere teaches baptism is not necessary for salvation.

A

Salvation is by grace through faith apart from anything or any works. Baptism is by contrast a work.♦ 1 Corinthians 1:17 separates between the gospel and baptism.

186
Q

Baptism DOES save us from:

A

In the Bible, as in everyday language, the word “save” can refer to the salvation of a soul, a life, or a thing. Which of these is in view can only be understood from the context.•How was Noh saved by water? Water here represented death and judgment. Noah and his family were only saved because they were in the Ark. The water without the ark meant certain death•This is the “like figure” (antitype) of how baptism “saves”. The Water of baptism pictures death and the judgment of sin on the cross, but only those in the Ark (picturing Christ) are saved.

187
Q

In the phrase “Baptism doth…save us.” Peter does NOT mean:

A

Baptism wash es away sin. It is not a cleansing agent. “Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh” means more than that “baptism is not a bath”. Baptism does not cleanse us from sin.

188
Q

In the phrase “Baptism doth…save us.” Peter DOES mean:

A

Baptism is the public profession or pledge (“answer”) that one has “a good conscience toward God”, a testimony of our salvation.♦ “Answer” is a legal term referring to a pledge to obey and fulfill the terms of a contract.♦ Baptism is a public pledge to obey God and serve Him, and to break with their sinful past. Thus baptism is a pledge that a person is saved and will live accordingly.♦ It thus “saves” us from the temptation (which Peter’s readers were facing) to return to their sinful past in the face of suffering.♦ Baptism “saves” from a bad conscience, not from Hell. No believer has a good conscience with God while he is in the disobedient state of refusing baptism.

189
Q

The Word of God testified by eye witnesses:

A

Skeptics and liberals often claim that the miracle claims and teachings of Christianity were made up by the followers of Christ over a period of centuries after his Death. By contrast, Peter makes it clear that the entire message of the Gospel is based upon first-hand accounts and the eyewitness testimony of those who walked with Christ and saw His Glory.

190
Q

In 1 Peter, Peter warned that Suffering is coming

A

In 2 Peter, he declared suffering is here.

191
Q

The Understanding of the Scripture

A

No passage of Scripture is of the writer’s own private interpretation or opinion - it is GOD’S word.•No passage of Scripture is to be of the reader’s own private interpretation or opinion. It is what GOD meant, not what YOU understand or feel it to mean that is important. We are to study Scripture in order to discover what God intended to convey, not to project our feelings, opinions, or experiences into or onto it, ignoring the original intent and context.

192
Q

The Inspiration of Scripture

A

No portion of God’s Word was ever written simply by the writer’s own will or to convey his own thoughts or opinions.•Instead of “holy men of God”, the authors of Scripture were moved, carried along, and guided by the Holy Spirit concerning exactly what to write. God’s hand moved their hearts, their minds, and their pens. Every word of the Bible is the perfect Word of God!

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

A

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

213
Q
