Primary  sins:  idolatry,  immorality,  &  injustice   2. Moral  law  applicable  to  Gentile  nations,  not  just  Israel   D. Restoration:  encouraged  people  of  future  blessings  after  repentance   1. Restore  the  nation:  return  from  exile,  son  of  David  as  ruler,  peace,  prosperity   2. Renew  God’s  people:  a  new  heart,  cleansing,  indwelling  of  God’s  Spirit,  a  new   covenant   3. Rule  the  nations:  son  of  David  subdues  God’s  enemies,  rules  with   righteousness,  extends  salvation  &  God’s  reign  to  the  ends  of  the  earth   XIII.

Overthrow  foreign  oppression;  subdue  God’s  enemies;  judge  the  nations   5.

B. My  Gospel  Summary  (adapted  from  Dr.  Rice  Broocks’  Gospel  Summary)   1. The  Gospel  is  the  good  news  that  God  became  man  in  Jesus  Christ.  He  lived   the  sinless,  obedient  life  we  should  have  lived  and  died  the  just  death  we   deserved  in  our  place  for  our  sins.   Three  days  later  he  rose  from  the  dead,  proving  that  he  is  the  Son  of  God,   and  after  forty  days  ascended  to  heaven,  offering  forgiveness  of  sins,   reconciliation  with  God,  and  eternal  life  to  all  who  believe  him  and  turn  from   their  sin  to  follow  him  as  Lord.   They  will  go  to  be  with  him  in  heaven  when  they  die,  and  will  return  with  him   to  the  earth  when  he  comes  again  bodily  to  raise  the  dead,  renew  the  earth,   and  rule  creation  in  righteousness  with  peace,  love,  and  joy  for  the  glory  of   God  and  the  good  of  his  creatures.   C. Course  Objective   1. Students  should  grow  in  their  theological  understanding  of  the  biblical   metanarrative  of  redemption  in  terms  of  (1)  its  grounding  in  the  purposes  of   creation,  (2)  its  cohesiveness  throughout  Scripture,  and  (3)  its  objectives  in   the  present  and  coming  ages,  and  consequently  grow  in  (1)  their  awe  of  God,   (2)  their  eschatological  hope  for  the  return  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  (3)  their   desire  to  holistically  engage  in  God’s  mission  now.   2. To  what  degree  was  the  course  objective  achieved  for  you  personally?     3. How  do  you  hope  to  engage  in  God’s  mission  in  this  life?   D. Further  Study   1.
