There is one only and true God, but in the unity of the Godhead there are three coeternal and coequal Persons, the same in substance but distinct in subsistence.

Não há, portanto, nenhuma heresia tão grande, nem heresia que consiga arrancar a religião pela raiz, como a heresia que pensa em Deus de acordo com a analogia da força natural e esquece que Ele é uma Pessoa.

The fundamental thought is the universal government of God, providence. All that comes to you is under his controlling hand. The secondary thought is the favor of God to those that love him. If he governs all, then nothing but good can befall those to whom he would do good. . . . He will so govern all things that we shall reap only good from all that befalls us.

Prayer is coming to God, telling Him my need, committing my way unto the Lord, and leaving Him to deal with it as seemeth Him best.

It is not, strictly speaking, even faith in Christ that saves, but Christ that saves through faith. The saving power resides exclusively, not in the act of faith or the attitude of faith or the nature of faith, but in the object of faith; and in this the whole biblical representation centers, so that we could not more radically misconceive it than by transferring to faith even the smallest fraction of that saving energy which is attributed in the Scriptures solely to Christ Himself.

The Old Testament affirmed in the New Testament
Tumblr media
Sometimes, instead of referring to the two major divisions of the Bible as the Old Testament and the New Testament, I prefer to use the First Testament and the Second Testament. This helps me remember that “Old” doesn’t mean outdated and “New” doesn’t mean forgetting what came before it.
I love how B.B. Warfield describes the First Testament as being like a mansion with richly-decorated, beautifully-ornate rooms, but which are dimly lit. With Christ’s Advent described in the Second Testament, the light is turned on and we can now appreciate the beauty that was always there!
Sadly, there are far too many people who see the two divisions of the Bible as separate. In reality, the First Testament is affirmed over and over again in the Second Testament. In fulfilled prophesy alone, there is an abundance of evidence!
But let’s get even more obvious: In just the four Gospels there are at least 100 direct mentions or quotations of passages from the Old Testament. Clearly, both Jesus and the Gospel writers saw the First Testament as an integral part of Christ’s ministry.
Check out this list that I compiled and look up the references for yourself (a great place to look up Scriptures is on BibleGateway.com).
If you would like to download a PDF version of this list, click here → Old Testament affirmed in the New Testament ← If you would like to use this document in a teaching session, just be sure to mention that you downloaded it from craigtowens.com. Thanks!
More resource for your Bible study:
Check out how the “I AM” statements of Jesus in the Second Testament shine a bright light on the names of Jehovah in the First Testament.
Learn how the Holy Spirit helps Christians understand and apply all of the Bible—both Testaments—to our daily lives.

"L’Ancien Testament peut être comparé à une chambre richement décorée, mais peu éclairée ; l’introduction de la lumière ni amène rien qui n’ait déjà été là ; mais elle amène au grand jour ce qui était déjà là, mais qu’on distinguait à peine, pas du tout dans la pénombre... Ainsi la révélation de l’Ancien Testament n’est pas corrigée par une révélation plus complète qui lui succède, mais elle est améliorée, étendue et élargie." B.B.

We must not, then, as Christians, assume an attitude of antagonism toward the truths of reason, or the truths of philosophy, or the truths of science, or the truths of history, or the truths of criticism. As children of the light, we must be careful to keep ourselves open to every ray of light. Let us, then, cultivate an attitude of courage as over against the investigations of the day. None should be more zealous in them than we. None should be more quick to discern truth in every field, more hospitable to receive it, more loyal to follow it, whither soever it leads.
