Introduction
Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey through the New Testament. You are in for a spiritually uplifting time! My hope and prayer is that as you read 90 Days Through the New Testament in Chronological Order , you will
experience a growing love for the Word of God,
grow in your knowledge of and appreciation for the wondrous salvation you have in Jesus Christ,
experience more daily intimacy with Jesus than ever before,
understand and experience God s incredible grace in your daily walk with Him,
grow in your knowledge of the Holy Spirit and dependence on Him as He empowers you to live the Christian life,
grow in your faith and trust in God in the midst of life s troubles, and
gain an eternal perspective so that you see life s problems and difficulties from heaven s vantage point.
As we begin our journey together, I want to address a few things that will lay a foundation for better understanding the New Testament. Let s look at the big picture first and consider some preliminary matters about how this book is arranged. Then we will zero in on our chronological study of the New Testament.
The Significance of the New Testament
The New Testament is a collection of 27 writings composed over a 50-year period by nine different authors from various walks of life. The primary personality of the New Testament is Jesus Christ. The primary theme is salvation in Jesus Christ, based on the new covenant.
The word testament refers to a covenant or agreement. The Old Testament focuses on an old covenant between God and the Israelites. According to that covenant (the Sinai covenant), the Jews were to be God s people and render obedience to Him, and in return God would bless them (Exodus 19:3-25). Israel failed repeatedly and continually violated this covenant. So even in Old Testament times, the prophets began to speak of a new covenant that would focus not on keeping external laws but on an inner reality and change in the human heart (Jeremiah 31:31). Unlike the Sinai covenant, the new covenant was to make full provision for the forgiveness of sins.
When Jesus ate the Passover meal with the disciples in the upper room, He spoke of the cup as the new covenant in my blood (Luke 22:20; see also 1 Corinthians 11:25). Hebrews 7 demonstrates that Christ s priesthood is superior to the old priesthood, and it logically follows that such a superior priesthood would have a superior ministry. Such a ministry is provided for in the new covenant. Jesus has done all that is necessary for the forgiveness of sins by His once-for-all sacrifice on the cross. This new covenant is the basis for our relationship with God in the New Testament.
The Books of the New Testament
The first four books of the New Testament are the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these contains an account of the life of Christ. None portrays all the details of His life, but taken together, they provide a full composite account.
Each Gospel author included different details, depending on his purpose for writing. For example, the Gospel of Matthew has more citations from the Old Testament than any other Gospel because Matthew sought to prove to the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. Mark, by contrast, had no such Jewish motivation, but instead sought to portray Jesus in action rather than as a teacher. Luke s Gospel stresses the wonderful blessings of salvation for all people. John s Gospel focuses heavily on the identity of Jesus and thoroughly demonstrates His deity.
Following the Gospels is the book of Acts, which traces the spread of Christianity following the death and resurrection of Christ. Though the book is traditionally understood as the acts of the apostles, it is probably more appropriately understood as the acts of the Holy Spirit, for t
