This week, we’re talking about whether or not the Bible is for us. Most Bible-believers will probably answer, “Of course, the Bible is for us.” Yet not everyone who claims to be a Christian would agree. A recent video from a denominational “pastor” argues that the Bible is NOT for us, but was written “by ancient people for ancient people.” This is an important topic for us to consider.

Rev. Rob Christ of Edmond’s Presbyerian Church (PCUSA) explains that the bible was not written TO you, ABOUT you, or even FOR you, and that you are under no obligation to abide by what it says. pic.twitter.com/xndWYHTHqf

What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.

Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.

Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
