The Bible -- What Parts Really Apply to Me?

IMPORTANT PRESUPOSSITIONS

1. The difference between: Application, Obedience and Gaining Insight

2. All Scripture is                                          and                                         

   All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
   2 Tim. 3:16-17

   And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, 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. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
   2 Peter 1:19-21

3. God's Word is the "                                                         " -- there is an ultimate truth!

4.            different writers over a                           year period.

   Personality, vocabulary, setting, purpose, audience

5. Every word and "mark" are of critical importance to God

   I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
   Matthew 5:18
