In this final episode of why the Bible was written, Arnie and Fred note that it teaches how to live as a Christian. We discuss the fact that all of the New Testament epistles were written to and for Christians. In the second chapter to Titus, Paul said that God's grace teaches us what we must deny and also specifies how we should live. In the second chapter of Peter's first epistle, he describes God's people in verse 9. We discuss that description. We talk about what Paul said about the Christians at Rome in the first verse of that letter. Paul also addressed the disciples in Ephesus in the first verse of chapter one. We look at that. Likewise, we note what Peter said in the first verse of his second epistle. We talk about how Paul told Timothy and Titus that Christians are required to live acceptably unto God. The Bible teaches how a disciple develops and grows or doesn't grow as a child of God. We note what Jesus, Paul and the Hebrew writer say about this. We close out this episode by noting that the Bible reveals the destiny of our souls, telling us that our souls continue to live after the body dies. We talk about what Jesus said about this when He discussed the rich man and Lazarus in Luke chapter 16. Jesus tells us of the judgment scene where He will judge everyone. We talk about what He says about that. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying.
