[John
20:31]
But
these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God,
and
that by believing you may have life in his name.

The
Bible is like the large continent of the Old Testament and the New Testament,
of which
the
New Testament is one-third the size of the Old Testament.
|
4
|
|
The
entire chapter of the Bible is 1,189, and the New Testament is 260 Chapters.
The
whole
passage of the Bible is the 31,101 verse, and the New Testament is the 7,957
verse.

|

The
New Testament begins after a period of 400 years of silence.
The
New Testament consists of a total of 27 books. These 27 books are again
divided into
four
categories. It consists of 4 books of Gospels, 1 book of history, 21 books of
letters, 1
book
of prophecy.

It
is said that Matthew, Mark, Luke, John's Gospel at the very beginning of the
New
Testament
is the Four Gospels. These four gospels record the things that happened as
Jesus,
the Son of God, was in the flesh of our flesh as we are.
|

|
The
beginning of the New Testament reveals how the words of the Messiah had
actually
been
prophesied in the Old Testament.
Like
the prophecy of Isaiah, Jesus, the Son of God, begins with the birth of the
Virgin
Mary
in the Holy Spirit and the birth of Bethlehem, as the prophet of Micah
prophesied.
|

|
|
John
the Baptist, who came to this land six months earlier than Jesus, cried out
in the
wilderness
that the kingdom of God had come and urged Judas to repent. As the Prophet
of
Isaiah prophesied, John prepared the way for Jesus to come.
|
9
|
|
Jesus
began to preach the kingdom of God on earth from the time he was 30 years
old.
Jesus
trained 12 disciples. And many people proclaimed, preached, and verified the
kingdom
of God.
|
10
|
|
Jesus
demonstrated that He is the Son of God. He raised the dead and healed many
diseases
that could not be fixed in those days. In addition, he calmed the waves and
walked
on the water.
|
11
|
|
Jesus
himself suffered the crucifixion to forgive the sins of all mankind.
He
took all our sins and died on the cross.
But
in three days he overcomes the power of death and resurrects.
|
12
|
|
The
risen Jesus promised that he would send the Holy Spirit,
and
he ascended to heaven with his disciples watching.
And
ten days later the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples who believed in the
promise
and
prayed.
|
13
|
|
Those
who received the Holy Spirit boldly began to bear witness that Jesus was the
Messiah.
Many
people who heard this blessed news came to believe in Jesus.
And
the first church, the Jerusalem church, was built.
|
14
|
|
The
apostles who were disciples of Jesus preached the gospel to the Jews.
And
when Saul, who persecuted those who believed in Jesus, met Jesus, he repented
and
changed. He changed his name to Paul and began to preach the Gospel for the
Gentiles.
|
15
|
|
The
apostle Paul became the first missionary to travel
through
numerous regions and preach the gospel.
In
addition, Paul did a work of spreading the word of God through a letter in a
distant place. The letter written by Paul is about thirteen books, half of
the New Testament.
There
are also letters written by many people.
|
16
|
|
The
apostle John, who lived the longest as a disciple of Jesus, also wrote three
books
of
letters. In particular, the apostle John met Jesus directly on the island of
Patmos
and
recorded what will be done in the future.
This
Bible is the last book of Revelation in the New Testament.
|
17
|
|
Among
the contents of the book of Revelation,
there
are things that have already been done in prophecy in history.
And
future works that have not been done yet are foretold.
In
it, on the Last Judgment Day, Jesus comes back to earth and judges those
who
do not believe in Him with eternal hell fire, and makes us, the children of
God,
to
live for everlasting life.
|
18
|
|
We
have received the grace of salvation because of Jesus
who
came to the Messiah according to the prophecy of the Old Testament.
Now
the Holy Spirit is enjoying the blessing with us.
We
will now have to wait for Jesus to come again and live a just life as a bride
of Jesus, always practicing what God pleases.
