All the Bible Is Based on Just Three Verses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781606477311)

All the Bible is based on just three verses of scripture found in Genesis 12:1-3. When one understands the role and content of these verses, and follows how they develop in the scriptures, a surprising simplicity is discovered in God's Holy Word. Genesis 12:1-3 is the call of Abraham and God's announcement of Christ and world redemption. The plan of redemption involves three primary promises: (1) a nation, (2) a land, and (3) a coming Blessing. From the land and the nation will come the Blessing, who is Jesus. These three promises become a simple outline that compresses the Bible into a comprehensible format. In the New Testament, Paul holds up Abraham as a model for how all people come to salvation. He combines the call and promises made to Abraham, along with Abraham's belief in that call recorded in Genesis 15:6, to make a compelling case that justification is based on faith. J.L. Hendricks has been a pastor for forty-five years. He and his wife Barbara have four married children and nine grandchildren who are all actively involved in the Lord's work. Currently, pastor Hendricks is director of Israel's Fullness, a ministry seeking to take the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles. In 1990 he co-founded a national Messianic fellowship. His efforts in taking the gospel to Jewish people became the foundation for the writing of this book.
