The Gospel Conference Series


The Gospel According to Abraham

Arizona Bible Conference

September 2–4, 2016

“And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the
gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ‘In you all the nations shall be blessed.’
So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.” Gal 3:8–9
“Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say, ‘And to seeds,’
as of many, but as of one, ‘And to your Seed,’ who is Christ.” Gal 3:16
Gene taught “The Gospel According to Abraham” over Labor Day weekend in Prescott, Arizona.
We have recently completed studies in “The Gospel According to Isaiah” (No. Virginia April 2016) and “The Gospel According to David” (Colorado May 2016). The purpose of these studies is to show that the Gospel message—pointing men to Jesus Christ in faith—is declared throughout Scripture. In fact, this is the central message of the Bible. Certainly, in the Old Testament, the nature of the Gospel message is necessarily prophetic as His coming and redemption are spoken of as future events. Job’s statement regarding his “Redeemer” reveals that, in ancient times, the message of the coming Savior was clearly stated and understood.

In the future, we will also study “The Gospel According to Noah” (Uniontown October 2016) and then “The Gospel According to Moses” (No. Virginia Spring 2017). The combined weight of these studies should greatly strengthen our faith in the unity and harmony of the Scriptures and, at the same time, motivate us to “imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises,” Heb 6:12.

Paul states that the Gospel was “preached … beforehand [in advance] … to Abraham.” The content of that message was that “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” Let’s look at the repetition of the message first, then we will consider its implications. There are five passages in which this promise is made to Abraham. Each is significant in the life and history of Abraham.
By gaining an understanding of the unity and harmony of the biblical message, we come to see that, indeed, Jesus Christ is the focus from Genesis to Revelation; and faith in Him as Savior is the only way to enter into eternal life. This is just as true for Old Testament people as for those living after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.

Biblical Chivalry #8

Biblical Chivalry #8

The divine design for manhood. The goal is the LORD Jesus Christ. Foundations of character: faithfulness, meekness, self control. Caleb is an example of meekness. Man was created in GOD’s image to reflect his glory. Every man is to strive to be a warrior like Christ as a: Prophet - with a message in word and deed; Priest - deal with men’s souls as student of the BOOK and life; and Majesty - a reflection of the KING. 2Sa 1:17 relationships are vertical and horizontal. All relationships doomed to failure without the vertical. Relationships changes the parties involved. Gen 49:24 Jacob blesses Joseph bow; the bow was not a physical weapon but his soul. Job 29:20 the bow is spiritual maturity. Gen 48:22, Psa 44:3-6 the sword is the word of GOD, the bow is spiritual maturity. Psa 127:1-5 the concept of rest and our descendants ‘hitting the mark.’ 2nd Samuel chapters 9-16 is the story of Mephibosheth and how Jonathan’s arrow hit the mark. Meekness: Mat 11:28-29, Psa 37:11, Mat 5:5.



Scripture References: Matthew 11:28-29, Psalms 127:1-5, Psalms 44:3-6, Genesis 48:22, Job 29:20, Matthew 5:5, Genesis 49:24, Psalms 37:11

From Series: "Biblical Chivalry"

Men are to have a battle a romance and victory. Chivalry defined 'a knight' gentlemen in the highest sense of the word. Chivalry is a code of conduct containing courage honor and readiness. Our role from GOD is to be a man with courage endurance and love!
