BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 2: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

3a) “We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

b) Basically, all prophecy is God-breathed and truthful. This means that we can trust prophecy and know it is true. This helps us to prepare for what is to come, and it offers us hope, too.

4a) So that you will believe in Jesus.

b) It definitely makes it easier to believe in Jesus, that’s for sure! Prophecy shows the sovereignty of God and how He is the one in control of everything in the universe. I can rest easier, have more peace, and have more faith in the One, True God.

5) God Himself never lies and is good, sovereign, faithful, holy, loving, omnipotent, omniscient, just, forgiving, wise, merciful, eternal, and perfect. We can therefore believe Biblical prophecy because we can trust in God and who He is.

It’s important to know that we don’t have to fully understand prophecy in order to trust in its truth.

Fun Fact: Biblical prophecy is a BIG part of the Bible, comprising one-fourth of the Bible.

Fun Fact: There are only 4 books in the Bible that contain no prophecy whatsoever: Ruth, Song of Solomon, Philemon, and 3 John.

Biblical prophecy is written by humans through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Prophecy revolves around one central theme: how God will send His Son, Jesus Christ, to save His people.

4a) The Bible provides us with God’s commands on how we are to live and worship.

b) The Bible has comforted me many times in my trials. It has offered helpful advice in difficult relationships, and it’s been a beacon of light when I’m wandering lost.

5a)

Creation — The Bible tells of how the earth, heavens, mankind, and life on earth was created and offers guidance on how they are to live. God provides everything all life needs to survive and thrive.

Rebellion — Much of the Old Testament is about how mankind repeatedly rebels against God, his judgment upon them, and his care and love for them despite their rebellion. We learn how God always pulls us back to him no matter how far we wander.

Redemption — What the entire Bible is about, as well as the New Testament. It’s also the purpose of Jesus Christ. It’s the story of the Fall of Man and how God sent his Son to redeem all of humanity and bring them back to Him.

Restoration — When Jesus was crucified on the cross and died for our sins, all of humanity was redeemed and able to live forever with God in heaven. As long as you accept Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross for your sins.

b) It’s the story of God’s creation of the world, man’s perpetual rebellion against him, God’s plan to redeem humanity through his Son, Jesus Christ, and our final restoration with God upon acceptance of Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

6) Lord, guide me this year in my challenges, open my heart to you through this study and in daily life, and let your will be done in my life and in the lives of those around me. Give me the strength to persevere in all things, especially those for you. Let the dreams of my heart be from you, as you open the door to make them come true. Amen.

Great opening lesson! I loved the introductory notes and the overview of the Bible. I’m definitely looking forward to this year’s study!

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 1, Day 2: Psalm 19:7-11; 119; 160 and John 6:63; 17:17

David’s point in Psalm 19:7-11 is to praise God for revealing himself through his Word and not just through Creation. He chooses his words wisely: law, testimony, precepts, commands, fear, and ordinances.

God’s Word is never wrong, it’s reliable, it’s right, it’s pure, it’s enduring, and it’s true and righteous. And King David didn’t even have all of the Bible!

God’s Word is more valuable than gold and sweeter than honey. It warns us, and it rewards us.

We are set apart (sanctified) for God’s purpose and pleasure. The more truth we believe and understand, the more sanctified (or the more we will be God’s) we will be.

Powerful stuff as we begin this study!
