Abraham

God narrows history in Scripture down at Gen. 12 to Abraham and his

family

During this time frame, the Scriptures talk about people groups other than the Jews only when they cross the path of the Jews.

Not because God wasn’t working with them, or didn’t love them, but because God’s purpose in Scripture is to show his plan of Salvation.

Scripture is His-story.

Jesus

New Testament era, up to the

second coming of Christ

after Christ, God again expands the historical

focus to include all people




Acts 2:1-41When the Holy Spirit did come ten days after Christ’s ascension (on the day of the Jewish feast of Pentecost) the disciples were given:

• Clarity of mind to present God’s plan of salvation to all the people in Jerusalem.• Boldness to speak about Jesus openly.• A supernatural ability to speak in the languages of the listeners so that they could hear about Jesus.




From the day of Pentecost forward, people were and are saved by the Holy Spirit as he reaches them with the message of Salvation. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to save us.
