So it’s been a while since I have been able to post something.  Well let’s be honest, I have not made it a priority at all.  But as I promised months ago, I will be posting different bits and pieces of my writings up here from my classes.  As I am working on my Applied Learning Paper for New Testament, I will be throwing the final versions up here for the world to see.  Please feel free to comment and give Ideas.  (In case my professor reads this, I will not be incorporating these ideas into my paper.  =)  Enjoy and let me know what you think!!!

A story of redemption and fulfillment

What is the difference between the Old and New Testament’s?  Are they two completely different pieces of scripture?  How can both be applied to a Christians life?  These are questions often heard in the Christian community today.  The truth is that the New Testament is an extension of the Old Testament.  Throughout the Old Testament we see God working through his people to save them.  We see many of His Children respond through faith such as Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and many others.  We also see God set the stage through His prophets for the coming of His son.  The purpose of the New Testament is to proclaim salvation through Christ, to declare our new identity as children of God, and the charging of the church to fulfill His good works until Christ returns.
