         This Bible study Bible Study is for your personal empowerment. Tjose who complete and submit this study for my evluation will be given a certificate of completion. See Section 1.

 

         The theme of the book of Mark is Jesus Christ as servant, and his disciples following in his steps. The purpose of this book is that humility and meekness are not low estee, but willing submission, and self restraint in the use of power. Grace is demonstrated by Jesus Christ ahowing a paradox(departure from his mission), by sharing his mercy to the Syro-Phoenician woman(Mark 7:6,26-28).

 

       Justice of God is the standard of salvation, because it is the will of God that all are to be saved(11 Peter 3:9). It is not impossinble, but it is more difficult for a rich man to be saved(Mark 10:45;Luke 18:21-23).

 

      Righteousness is God's requirement for righteous living and stewardship empowers one to seek him and have his indwelling prescence. If one makes wordly fame their priority, that person will lose their soul(Mark 8:34-36). Man's condition is one of sin(Psa. 51:5). Jesus Christ forves ball sin, exceept two:the sin of blaspheming the Hol Spirit(Mark 3:28,29;Acts 5:1-5) and Suicide(Matthew 27:3-8; Acts 1:18-20).
