Thought from today’s Bible reading from 2 Timothy 1-4. Paul used three analogies to describe the role of a preacher to the young evangelist Timothy. The examples that Paul used are common, even today, so that we might be able to easily see the points he was making. “Suffer hardship with me, as a good […]

One of the characteristics that distinguished them as being people of faith was their understanding of their place in the world. “All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having […]

The Hebrew writer’s assertion that Jesus was made […]

Just as an earthly father would, our heavenly Father expects certain behavior out of His children. We are not free to do as we please and expect God to be happy with whatever we do. We are expected to do […]

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.
