Studies regarding Dispensationalism—a system of biblical interpretation that recognizes God’s differing administrations, or stewardships, throughout history. This section explores the “Right Division” of Scripture (2 Timothy 2:15), emphasizing the distinction between God’s program for Israel and His distinct program for the Church, the Body of Christ.
The Bible reveals that death is not the end, but the beginning of eternity. Hades serves as a temporary holding place for both the righteous and the wicked, with the final resurrection determining one’s eternal destiny—either in Christ’s presence or in eternal separation from Him.
At death, the believer’s soul does not enter unconscious sleep but is immediately present with Christ, as Scripture repeatedly affirms. The body awaits resurrection, but the spirit remains alive with the Lord, fully conscious in His presence.
Jesus declared that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, bringing them to their ultimate purpose in God’s redemptive plan. His teaching challenges believers to honor Scripture, pursue true righteousness, and live in obedience to God as an act of worship.
The biblical covenants reveal God’s unfolding redemptive plan, demonstrating His faithfulness and grace across dispensations. Each covenant builds upon the previous, culminating in the New Covenant through Christ.
Sunday is not a Christian Sabbath but the Lord’s Day, set apart to celebrate Christ’s resurrection and the believer’s rest in His finished work. Understanding the difference between the Old Covenant Sabbath and the New Covenant grace enriches our faith and deepens our worship.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible affirms humanity’s role as stewards of God’s creation, emphasizing care and preservation over exploitation. This sacred trust reflects God’s character and honors His redemptive purposes, calling us to manage His creation faithfully.
Malachi’s prophecy of Elijah highlights a mission of reconciliation and restoration, partially fulfilled in John the Baptist and awaiting ultimate completion in the end times. This dual fulfillment underscores God’s sovereignty and calls believers to spiritual readiness for the return of Christ.
Being made in God’s image sets humanity apart from all other creation, granting unique privileges, responsibilities, and the hope of restoration through Christ. This profound truth calls us to reflect God’s character, steward His creation, and proclaim His redemptive plan.
Tithing under the Mosaic Law was a multifaceted system that fulfilled its role in Israel’s covenant life but was never intended for New Testament believers. Instead, Christians are called to live as stewards of God’s resources, giving joyfully and sacrificially in response to His grace.
Adam’s willful disobedience in the Garden of Eden plunged humanity into sin and death, but Christ, the Last Adam, provides the way to redemption and eternal life. This powerful contrast highlights the devastating effects of sin and the boundless grace of God through Jesus Christ.
The Tribulation is not merely a catastrophic event but a pivotal transitional period in dispensational theology. It underscores God’s sovereignty in history, His judgment on rebellion, and His covenantal faithfulness to Israel and the nations.
The Law of Moses provided Israel with a comprehensive guide to holiness, worship, and societal order, yet it pointed beyond itself to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Through His perfect life and sacrifice, Christ completed the requirements of the Law, ushering in the Dispensation of Grace and inviting believers to live by faith in His finished work.
The Jerusalem Council affirmed that salvation is by grace through faith, not by adherence to the Mosaic Law or cultural customs. This pivotal decision ensured the unity of the early Church and set a timeless precedent for resolving doctrinal disputes.
The Dispensation of Promise highlights God’s faithfulness through Jacob’s descendants, who became the twelve tribes of Israel. This period demonstrates how God’s promises to Abraham began to unfold, even amidst trials and transitions.
Grace is God’s unmerited favor that saves, transforms, and sustains every believer. From the cross to eternal life, it reveals His love, justice, and glory, calling us to live in awe of His kindness.
