Matthew 17, 7 9 24, Memphis, TN

Definition of the word Sin: Throughout the Old and New Testaments, sin means deviating from obedience to God's character and will. In the Bible, sin is described as a transgression of the law of God (1 John 3:4) and rebellion against God (Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18). 1 John 2 He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins-and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. 2 When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good - not only ours, but the whole world's.
The Old Testament/The old covenant/promise is the story of God’s plan to bring about the redemption of man. At the close of the Old Testament, God has a unique Chosen People who understand the importance of blood sacrifices, who believe the promises made to Abraham and David, and who are awaiting a Redeemer. In short, they are ready to receive the Serpent-crusher of Genesis, the Prophet like Moses, the Suffering Servant of Isaiah, the Son of David, the Messiah of Daniel, and the Humble King of Zechariah-all to be found in one person, Jesus Christ.
The New Testament/The New Covenant/promise is the promise that God will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise (Luke 22:20). The New Covenant was predicted while the Old Covenant was still in effect-the prophets Moses, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all allude to the New Covenant.
Importance of reading the Bible: 2 Timothy 3:16-17: All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. Matthew 4:4 'But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Hebrews 4:12 'For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.'
