A Dispensational Bible Study
Sermons
Welcome to Reno Remnant Church, where we offer a comprehensive and enlightening Bible study on the concept of dispensation. Dive deep into the scriptures with us as we explore this fascinating doctrine and its significance in understanding God's plan for humanity.
Understanding Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism is a theological framework that divides biblical history into distinct periods, or dispensations, during which God interacts with His creation in different ways. Each dispensation represents a unique stage in God's overarching plan and reveals His unfolding purposes.
Throughout these dispensations, God provides humanity with specific instructions and expectations. By studying each period individually, we gain a deeper comprehension of God's character, His redemptive plan, and His ultimate goal for humanity.
The Importance of Dispensational Bible Study
Engaging in dispensational Bible study provides a multitude of benefits for believers. By delving into the details of each dispensation, we gain a comprehensive understanding of biblical teachings, which enhances our faith and strengthens our relationship with God.
This comprehensive study allows us to interpret scripture accurately within its historical and cultural context. It prevents misunderstandings and misinterpretations that might arise when passages are taken out of their intended context, leading to a more robust and accurate understanding of God's Word.
Discovering God's Plan
Each dispensation unfolds a unique aspect of God's plan for humanity. Through our Bible study, we aim to guide you in examining these periods closely and uncovering the depth of God's love, mercy, and righteousness throughout history.
Dispensation of Innocence
In this first dispensation, God created Adam and Eve in His image and placed them in the Garden of Eden. Their primary responsibility was to obey God and abstain from eating the forbidden fruit. Unfortunately, they failed, leading to a fundamental shift in the relationship between God and humanity, marking the onset of the next dispensation.
Dispensation of Conscience
Following the fall from innocence, God established the dispensation of conscience. During this period, humanity's understanding of right and wrong was largely guided by an internal moral compass. This dispensation was characterized by a lack of specific written laws, which enabled individuals to exercise their God-given discernment.
Dispensation of Human Government
In the dispensation of human government, God introduced the concept of civil authority and human laws to govern society. This period witnessed the rise of civilizations and the establishment of governmental systems to maintain order and justice. However, humanity's corruption and rebellion against God grew, leading to the next dispensation.
Dispensation of Promise
In this period, which began with God's calling of Abraham, God made a covenant with the Hebrew people, promising to bless them and make them a great nation. Through them, God intended to bring salvation to all of humanity. This dispensation is marked by God's faithfulness to His promises and His formation of the nation of Israel.
Dispensation of Law
During the dispensation of law, God revealed His divine laws to guide His people in righteous living. The Ten Commandments and various ceremonial and moral laws were given to the Israelites through Moses. However, humanity's inability to keep the law perfectly highlighted our need for a Savior and laid the foundation for the next dispensation.
Dispensation of Grace
The dispensation of grace, often considered the current period, commenced with the coming of Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus accomplished salvation for all who believe in Him. During this dispensation, humankind is offered forgiveness and reconciliation with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Dispensation of the Kingdom
This future dispensation is yet to come, representing the reign of Christ over the earth for a thousand years, as prophesied in the book of Revelation. Through this dispensation, God will fulfill His promises to Israel and bring about the final restoration of all things.
