    About this ebook

    "On Sunday mornings at Grace Community Church, small groups of people gather together in Fundamentals of the Faith classes to use this manual of thirteen lessons, which blends basic biblical truths with personal obedience and service. Many young believers take these classes to grow in their understanding of biblical truths." For the first time ever, Fundamentals of the Faith is available to the trade. With topics ranging from “God: His Character and Attributes” to “The Church: Fellowship and Worship,” this study is ideal to disciple new believers or to realize afresh what it means to believe in Jesus.

    Each lesson is loaded with learning tools to help you engage Scripture- a link to 13 free downloadable messages by John MacArthur himself, study questions, memory verses, and suggestions for practical application.

      learn.

      Prepare for Your Assignment

      1. Along with this workbook, you will need a Bible and a journal or notebook for personal notes from the message you will hear.

      2. Download message #1, Our God-Breathed Bible, from www.gty.org/fof.

      3. Using your Bible, fill in the answers on the following pages.

      Memorize 2 Timothy 3:16

      All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.

      I hope you have an appreciation for the Scripture. I hope you have an appreciation for it not as a fetish but because it is the greatest treasure, apart from God Himself, that we have. It is His very word, His very self-revelation. When people ask me why it is that I systematically teach through book after book, why it is that I pay so much attention to detail and to every verse and every phrase and touch all the words, I tell them it’s because I understand them to be the words of God revealed to us from Him. And I would not second-guess the necessity of those words being then presented, taught and understood by all of us.

      John MacArthur

      The Bible is the Word of God. It claims to be the truth, the message from God to man. Second Peter 1:21 says that men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

      The Scriptures were written by approximately 40 different men.

      These men lived in several different countries and cultures.

      They lived in different eras (1400 B.C. through A.D. 90).

      They wrote in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

      Despite these differences, God moved the writers to focus on His glory in man’s redemption through one central figure—Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

      I. The Old Testament (39 books)

      A. The Pentateuch (5 books)

      The first five books of the Old Testament were written by Moses around 1400 B.C. They often are referred to as the Five Books of Moses or the Pentateuch.

      List the books of the Pentateuch in the order you find them in your Bible.

      The book of beginnings: Creation, man, sin, redemption, God’s nation

      God delivers His people from Egypt

      Atonement, holiness, and worship through sacrifice and purification

      God’s people continually disobey and wander in the wilderness for 40 years

      Moses’ great discourses to prepare Israel to enter the Promised Land

      B. History (12 books)

      The historical books were written between 1400 and 450 B.C. and describe God’s dealings with His chosen people, Israel, the Hebrew nation.

      List these books in order.

      C. Poetry (5 books)

      The following five books are poetic, describing in poetry and song God’s greatness and His dealings with men.

      List these books in order.

      The suffering and loyal trust of a man who loved God

      Songs of praise and instruction

      God’s practical wisdom for daily life

      The emptiness of an earthly life without God

      A celebration of marital joy

      D. Major Prophets (5 books)

      A prophet was a person commissioned by God to deliver His message to men. These books are called Major Prophets because they generally are longer than the writings of the Minor Prophets. The Major Prophets were written approximately between 750 and 550 B.C.

      List these books in order.

      E. Minor Prophets (12 books)

      The last 12 books of the Old Testament were written approximately between 840 and 400
