Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Dec 16, 2023 (message contributor)
Summary: To establish that the “word of God” was given to the apostles through divine revelations and recorded by them through divine inspiration. We’ll explore if the truth of God has been preserved during its translation from Greek into our English language.
D. Exhortation. “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved,” Jeremiah 8:20.
E. Motivation. Do as Peter directed: “Save thyself,” Acts 2:40; Acts 2:36-39; Acts 2:41.
