Ephesians 6:15

"And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;"


Now let's go all the way back and pick it up in the Old Testament first and that will be in Isaiah chapter 52:7. This is a verse that most of you are aware of, but I always like to show that the Old and New fit so beautifully in so many ways, and here's another one.


Isaiah 52:7a

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation;..."


I made the comment in our seminar in Pennsylvania recently, that the primary purpose of this Book from cover to cover is that one word "Salvation." The main purpose of the Word of God is to bring lost people to a knowledge of salvation. Remember God's not willing that any should perish! And if they're not to perish, then they need to get the remedy from the Word of God. And as I've said so often, that remedy can only be found for the Church Age believers in Paul's Gospel as we see in I Corinthians 15:1-4 which is faith + Nothing in the finished work of the cross. So whether it's Old Testament or the New Testament, salvation is the main purpose for mankind to have the Bible.
