🔑 “RIGHT DIVISION: THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS GOD’S WORD”
📖 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
🔰 INTRODUCTION
📖 Key Texts:
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". (Genesis 1:1)
“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him.” (Ephesians 1:10)
Many read the Bible… but few rightly divide it.
👉 Result? Confusion, contradiction, and wrong application. Today confusion leads many people into replacement theology—the idea that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan.
But when you rightly divide the Word of truth, everything becomes clear:
✔ Prophecy vs Mystery
✔ Israel vs Church
✔ Law vs Grace
