If you were a new pastor of a small church – what might be your expectations as to what the people to know about the Bible? Some of the Basics? None of the basics? Would it depend?
In last night’s Bible study we discovered that “only the blood of Jesus” makes us adequate before God and that by the blood of Jesus:
* we have been justified (Romans 5:9)
* we have redemption (Eph 1:7)
* we have been brought near to God (Eph 2:13)
* we have peace (Col 1:20)
* we are cleansed from sin (1 John 1:9)
* we have been freed from our sins (Rev 1:5)
I think this was new for some in the church, and they have been coming for quite a long time, maybe 10yrs or more. Perhaps it’s normal?
What say you?
