...The Most Important?
Is it not in Paul's epistles that we should find God's Plan,
Purpose, And Directions For The Body Of Christ, Under GRACE?:
"
While the whole Bible is the Word of God and vitally important, all of the Bible
does not deal with the same subject matter. In general the Bible is about God’s
Redemptive Plan for mankind.
Of course, Jesus Christ is the central figure of the entire Bible so, essentially it is
about Him, and what He has done, what He is doing now, and what He will do in
the future.
To answer the question “which part of the Bible is the most important,” first we
must determine which part of God’s program do we want to know about. Just as
a repair manual for an automobile is divided into sections or chapters that give
detailed information for the different parts or systems of the automobile covered
in the manual, the Bible is divided into sections which give detailed information
about the various dispensations past, present, and future.
Just as we would not read the section in the repair manual that tells how to
change a fuel pump when you wanted to replace a universal joint in the drive
shaft, we should not look to those parts of the Bible that concern the historical
aspects of God’s dealing with Israel, nor should we try to apply the part that
deals with Israel’s future (prophecy) to the “dispensation of Grace” that we
live in today.
Just as a good mechanic will have an excellent overall understanding of how all
the parts and systems of an automobile work, we should have a good grasp of
the entire Bible. But let us make sure that we are diligent to
“study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth”
(II Tim. 2:15).
It is in Paul’s letters that we find God’s plan, purpose, and directions for
the present dispensation.
