Description
Knowing the meaning of the terms of Scripture is essential to understanding the divine revelation which God has put in our hands—the Bible. Without a basic understanding of these doctrinal terms and phrases, we will surely miss what God intends for us to learn from His Word. Looking at Christendom in general, it seems that doctrinal accuracy is not ranked very high in importance with most Christians. As a result, many of them have not taken the time to acquaint themselves with the meanings of the terms and expressions in Scripture. This has left them quite unintelligent as to these things. Relatively few today are “grounded and settled” and “stablished in the faith” (Col. 1:23; 2:7), and many are being “tossed to and fro, and carried about by every wind of doctrine” that comes along (Eph. 4:14).
It is our conviction that every Christian needs to take time to learn the meaning of the doctrinal terms and phrases of Scripture so as to ensure a sound understanding of the truth conveyed in the Word of God. We cannot hold fast “the faithful Word” (Titus 1:9) if we don’t know what it is! The good news is that we don’t need to enroll in a Bible school or a seminary to learn these things.
A simple book, such as this very volume, can serve that purpose. We believe that an intelligent understanding of the divine revelation will increase our appreciation for the truth and for the Lord Himself and His finished work on the cross. It will also help us to order our lives on earth practically more closely to the mind and will of God. We believe that this handbook will aid the believer in his study of the Scriptures, and therefore, can be used as a companion to the Bible.
