We have come to a very important place in our journey through the Bible. For the past several years we have been traveling through the Old Testament. These are the books of the Bible that were written before our Lord Jesus Christ was born into this world. We now are going to begin traveling through the books of the Bible that describe our Lord’s birth and the many important and wonderful things that happened during and after this blessed event. These books of the Bible are called the New Testament.
The New Testament, like the Old Testament, was written by many different men, each specially chosen of God and given His inspired words to record. The actual time during which the New Testament was written is very short compared to the Old Testament. While many hundreds of years of time separated the various books of the Bible recorded in the Old Testament, all of the books of the New Testament were recorded in less than one hundred years.
The first four books of the New Testament are called “Gospels,” because they record the wonderful news of the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. After this we have a history book called Acts, and then many different letters written to assemblies of believers or to individual believers. At the end is a book that contains the record of events yet to take place in this world called Revelation. We hope that you will enjoy and be helped by our journey through the New Testament.
