  2. If you were going to share your faith with a Jewish family member or friend, what verse would you pick?

  3. Why use the Hebrew scriptures? • Context for sharing • Relationship building • My practice and promise

  4. What are the Hebrew Scriptures? Tanakh Torah – First Five Books N’vaiim – Prophetic Writings Kethuvim – Chronological/ Historical Writings

  5. What are the Hebrew Scriptures ? Tanakh Torah Prophetic Writings First Five Books N’vaiim Kethuvim Chronological/ Historical Writings

  6. There is a God. • What do you believe about God? • Isaiah 59:1-2 For those who don’t believe in God, it is no wonder because there is a barrier between God and us (sin) We cannot see Him and He will not hear us.

  7. There is a God. 3. That barrier exists even for those who believe in God. Sin has destroyed our relationship with God.

  8. We are all accountable to God. • Ezekiel 18:1-4 Because of that sin, we are destined to die.

  9. We are all accountable to God. 2. Daniel 12:2 What happens to us when we die? a. Resurrection b. Judgment How will God judge us when we die? Why?

  10. We are all accountable to God. • Isaiah 64:6 In America, we are taught to rely upon ourselves and our good works to prosper. b. How does God feel about one sin in our life, with regard to judgment? a. For those who rely upon their good works, what does God think about all our good works with regard to overcoming the barrier of sin? c. There is nothing we can do to appease God and earn the judgment of everlasting life. All we can earn is shame and everlasting contempt.

  11. God has the solution. • Leviticus 17:10-11 God Himself has given us the way to atone for sins. Are there still blood sacrifices being made in the temple?

  12. God has the solution. • Jeremiah 31:31-34 800 years before the destruction of the temple, God spoke through Jeremiah, and foretold the coming of a new covenant to replace this Sinaitic covenant (that under which the temple sacrifices were made).

  13. God has the solution. • God is both just ~ demanding a penalty (blood sacrifice) for sin, and merciful ~ desiring to forgive sins and remember wickedness no more

  14. God has the solution. How can He satisfy both His nature and His desire? Isaiah 53:1-6 God sacrifices for us. Who does this sound like?
