Description

Unleash the Power of God's Truth in Your Daily LifeFrom Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is full of life-changing truth. But to fully experience the power of God's Word, you need to go beyond merely knowing the facts and learn how to let them transform you. In this new resource, noted author and biblical scholar Ron Rhodes takes you through each book of the Bible, breaking down complex concepts into practical applications and offering helpful insights for each. For example, key applications found in 1 John include:Our fellowship with God hinges on walking in the light as He is in the light.When we fall into sin and fall out of fellowship with God, confession to God is the remedy that restores our fellowship.When we sin, Jesus is our defense attorneyand He never loses a case in God's court. Our fellowship with God is thereby protected.Word studies, quotes from famous Christians, cross-references, and more are included in every profound chapter to help you dig deeper into each transformational concept. As you put God's key principles into practice, you'll experience more than ever all the benefits the Bible has to offer.

Acknowledgments
Having now written more than 70 books over a span of 35 years, I can say without reservation that no author is an island-no author accomplishes his or her task without the continued support of multiple other people. In my case, my primary support team has always been my family-my wife, Kerri, and my two grown children, David and Kylie. With every year that passes I grow in appreciation for these three. As I have stated on many occasions, the sun always seems to shine a little bit brighter with them in my world. What a blessing from God!
I am also hugely appreciative of my ongoing relationship with the fine team at Harvest House Publishers-especially with Bob Hawkins Jr., the president of the company. A special thanks also goes to Steve Miller and Terry Glaspey for their helpful suggestions in the early stages of the book, and to Janelle Coury for her excellent layout and design work on the book. Also Gene Skinner, where would I be without you? You ve edited so many of my books that I ve lost count. But all the books are better because of your involvement.
Last but certainly not least, I bow before the Lord Jesus Christ in humble appreciation for the opportunity to serve Him through the written word. What a privilege and joy!

About the Publisher
The Key Ideas Bible Handbook
Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey through The Key Ideas Bible Handbook, a book brimming with the applicational big ideas from Genesis to Revelation. By its very nature, this book is designed to help bring about life-change in your walk with God and to produce a spiritual transformation in your daily life. That means you should not read this book thinking it will only fill your head with more intellectual knowledge. It will enlighten your mind, yes, but it will also touch your heart- and deeply.
My hope and prayer is that as you read The Key Ideas Bible Handbook, you will attain
a thorough understanding of the power of God s Word to change your life;
an appreciation for how the Word of God can be exciting and liberating;
an awareness that God is a personal being who desires to personally interact with you;
an awareness that God not only makes promises to you in His Word, but is also a relentless promise keeper;
a conviction that God will bless you when you choose to live righteously;
an understanding of the need for unwavering faith in the midst of life s troubles;
a thorough understanding of God s sovereignty in your life;
a deep appreciation for the wondrous salvation you have in Jesus;
an experience of daily intimacy with Jesus like never before;
an ever-increasing understanding of God s marvelous grace as He works in your life; and an eternal perspective that will enable you to see life s problems and difficulties from heaven s vantage point.
As you peruse The Key Ideas Bible Handbook, you will notice that it sifts a wide variety of applicational concepts from the biblical text. I use the phrase applicational concepts by design, for such concepts involve life-changing truths. An example might be this: It s not merely what you know that brings salvation, but who you know-Jesus Christ the divine Savior. The Key Ideas Bible Handbook is loaded with such life-changing truths, from the creation account in the early chapters of Genesis to the eternal state in the latter chapters of Revelation.
To illustrate further, a traditional heading of Philippians 1:20-26 in a study Bible might be something like this: Paul lives for Jesus Christ. In place of such a generalized heading, here is an applicational concept: When Christ is your life, living becomes vibrantly productive and death is nothing to fear. That is a life-changing, transformational truth!
Likewise, a traditional heading of Colossians 1:15-19 in a study Bible might be something like this: Christ is supreme. In place of such a generalized heading, here is an applicational concept: Because Christ is supreme in reality, He must become supreme experientially in your life. That is a life-changing, transformational truth!
A traditional heading of Psalm 1 in a study Bible might be, The righteous versus the wicked. In place of such a heading, here is an applicational concept: God wants to bless you, but you must first become bless-able by being obedient to Him. Again, that is a life-changing, transformational truth!
The Key Ideas Bible Handbook is ultimately a tool that provides an applicational framework from Genesis to Revelation. It will enable you as a Christian to understand not only what the Bible means, but also what the Bible means to you in terms of life-changing truths. Used hand in hand with a Bible, this tool can be truly transformational.
I believe this approach to the Bible reflects the nature of God s intention for Scripture. In 2 Timothy 3:16, for example, we are told Scripture is intended to be profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. Or, as The Expanded Bible renders the verse, all Scripture is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives [refuting error; rebuking], for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right [training in righteousness].
Some Christians might be tempted to think only the New Testament contains the primary applicational concepts for today s believers. First Corinthians 10:11 reveals, however, that events that transpired in Old Testament times were written down for our instruction. That means the whole Bible-both the Old and New Testaments-contains applicational concepts to guide and enrich us.
You will notice a number of unique features in The Key Ideas Bible Handbook. I devote one chapter to each biblical book. At the head of each chapter is a super-concept-a guiding theme that runs throughout the entire biblical book. This sets the context for all that is to come in that chapter. Then, following a brief historical introduction of the
