What the what 2 weeks?

This blog is mostly for me. Something I haven't posted about because I wanted it to be just me and Jesus is. A bunch of girls from Instagram and myself read the New Testament in 2 weeks. It was so wonderful to get to experience so much of God's Word so quickly--to be able to gain a broad overview of everything.
So. This blog is me writing down my overview of each book. So I can always go back and remind myself what each book is about when I am looking for something specific. My favorite Gospel was John, and I grew an appreciation for Galatians, and Revelation always sparks my interest.
If you are just dying to read what I gained each book is about-read on. Otherwise. That's all.


Matthew 1-19
Jesus constantly taught. He performed more miracles than can be spoken. he trusted/knew the HS would show believers the parables. He intentionally spend time alone. Kingdom of God is emphasized.
Matthew 20-28
Vastness between 'Kingdom of God' and 'weeping/gnashing of teeth'. More parables about the Kingdom of Heaven. Descriptive of the process leading up to during His accusation/crucifixion. Multiple fulfillment of the OT fulfillment focuses. His post resurrection is short. All descriptive.
Mark 1-10
different perspective on parable AND new ones He asked lots of questions to the disciples to further their faith as Jesus proves who He is. Mentions females more. Goes over 10 commandments sporadically. Talks a LOT of fear (in the Lord).
Mark 11-16
Spoke of healing, and simple stories of Jesus' life. Less details than Matthew. Seems more laid back or 'common man' than Matthew. I felt the death-resurrection was more visual.
Luke 1-12
JTB foretelling told before Jesus. Just like JTB came before Jesus LOTS of quotes/praises/songs from various people-to be remembered. Speaks of miracles in a more chill fashion (real). Focuses on raising the dead. Mentions a lot how He spends time alone.
Luke 13-24
Parables about finding the lost. Authority is only in God--Jesus says. In death it didn't mention the veil being torn, but had other details. The great commission was longer/more in depth.
John 1-7 (personal favorite gospel)
He doesn't speak of any parables. Various miracles. Speaks of Jesus in different terms of who He is. Specifies 1/2 miracles in Galilee.
John 8-21
We are friends with God because He shares with us; NOT slaves. Uses the OT a bit for background/fulfillment of scripture references a bit. More HS focused. Election focused! The death-resurrection account is much different with details only found here. No mention of the ascension--Acts does it.
Acts 1-4
Focuses a lot on unification of God's people/believers. Starts with preaching to non-believers but ended with encouraging/teaching believers.
Acts 5-22
Detailed miraculous stores. Oh-ascension. I can picture the stories (visual). HS focused (11). Paul preaches to all the people! LOTS of ALL people believing in all  the places. 'It is more blessed to give than receive.'--only quote from Jesus outside the Gospels.
Acts 23-28
Paul on trial, but was not killed because a Roman by birth. Tells his conversion story multiple times. He still preaches during it all of the resurrection.
James 1-5
God doesn't bring temptation but helps us through it. Faith without good works is useless. The tongue cannot serve 2 motives at one time. WISDOM comes from God. Humble yourself before God; feel sad for your sin. Prayer has mighty power and confession.
1 Peter 1-5
Prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. We are chosen, royal, HIS possession. I am free in Jesus' love; His slave! (2:16) Living for Christ when wars rage. Submit in marriage and laws. OT is used often to back up prophesies. Suffering for Jesus. I suffered in Ed in the past and God has come for it. Trials happen-don't be surprised. Satan is real-stand firm in His grace.
2 Peter 1-3
Follow the pattern of 1:5-7 to live in Jesus. Keep your eyes on the Bible. False teachers twist the Truth. God is harder on those with sexual immorality and pride. Be on guard for the coming of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1-16
God uses alternate ways to show His wisdom. You are God's building/temple. Boast in HIS power; not yours. All things are allowed but not all are good. RUN from sexual sin. Woman and man serve each other in marriage. Singleness serves God well. All food is ok; watch out for your fellow brother to not cause sin. Do what is best for all. Share in the Lord's supper with the right heart. The body works together LOVE is most important. tongues/prophecy done in order. Death has NO sting.
2 Corinthians 1-5
God is with us as we serve Him. Forgive because we are made new. New covenant--no veil needed--FREEDOM! We are not overtaken by the world. We cannot wait for new bodies because we are a new creation.
2 Corinthians 6-13
Godly sorrow brings repentance of sin. Give eagerly, but wisely. Boast in your weakness to show Jesus; power. Thorns in flesh--kept him humble--me too. 12:13-hilarious!
Galatians 1-6
One Good news-from Christ. Die to the law--made right with God! We has the HS not from the law, but CHRIST! God's promise to Abraham belongs to me. The law was designed to last only until Jesus. Because I am God's child, I am an hear. FREEDOM in Christ without circumcision; live with freedom for you AND others. HS given fruit. Do good-ALWAYS-living in everlasting love from HS.
Ephesians 1-6
I am chosen in Christ. I was dead.BUT GOD-gave us life through Christ. I am saved by GRACE-a GIFT- my works do not save me!! Jews and gentiles are one in Him. Humility of that and having Christs's love. The Spirit redeems my corruption. God is Light in me-expose darkness. Wives and husbands relationship like Christ and the church Armor of God fights evil powers.
Philippians 1-4
Living means living for Christ, dying is better to be in His presence. One day ALL will see Jesus as Lord. DO ALL with the mind and attitude of Christ. All else is worthless comparing to knowing Christ. Press on to Christ's perfection. I am a citizen of heaven Joy continual comes from Jesus. Keep your eyes higher focused. Contentment in ALL phases of life.
Colossians 1-4
Endure. Christ is the Trinity. Continue on because He rescued us from darkness. Chris circumcised our hearts. I have new life. Christ stripped my old life. Do all as if representing Christ. Live wisely. Pray fervently for believers.
1 Thessalonians 1-5
BIG faith. Paul overviews their time together. Life is given to Paul knowing they are staying strong. Purity in sexual sin. The dead will rise first. we live in Him. Do all as He has instructed and encouraged.
2 Thessalonians 1-3
Prayers during persecution. Jesus will slay those who do counterfeit in the last days. STAND FIRM. Be careful with idle Christians; encourage them.
1 Timothy 1-6
God is merciful. Pray with Jesus interceding. Women be submissive. Pastors/deacons held to higher standard. Train Spiritually like physically. The reward is coming. Be all in. Guidelines for widows. Sins/deeds revealed at various times. The heart of money is the root of all evil.
2 Timothy 1-4
Be faithful. The GOSPEL has been fulfilled! He broke death. He gives us His Spirit--fruit. The Word of God cannot be chained. He is ALWAYS faithful. Work for God; not man. Persecution is when, not fun, but this book is God-breathed. Preach His work without ceasing.
Titus 1-3
Reprimand false teachers. Live like you teach. The response to God's grace is right conduct. Don't forget where you came from (recovery!!) and praise the Lord for His grace to save us and have confidence in Him.
Philemon 1
Onesimus had to make amends with Philemon, and Paul asked him to accept it.
1 John 1-5
Confession leads to repentance and God ALWAYS forgives with that-even habitual sings-with repentance (GRACE!). New and old command, love one another. You cannot love the world and God at the same time. Deny Christ and you deny the Father-Antichrist. We know love because of Jesus. GOD IS LOVE! I defeat evil with faith. Life is through the Son. He hears us and gives us what pleases us (in His will-for our good.) LOVE.
Hebrews 1-13
TRINITY!! Moses was good; Jesus was the best. Jesus and I have the same Father. Rest comes from Him. Jesus understands and still didn't sin. He is an anchor for my soul. He is Melchizedek order forever. Not Levi, the law was weak;imperfect. He is the High Priest. New covenant! Christ is the perfect sacrifice. Sacrifice needed ONE time in the new covenant, because old covenant was weak and Jesus overcame it. Persevere through tribulation. People in the OT had FAITH. Discipline is love. Receive encouragement in faith.
2/3 John
Live in love--doing what God commands. Follow what is good (good acts).
Jude
False teachers abound BUT we are called to remain faithful, and God keeps us until the end.
Revelation 1-11
John knew to write letters to the 7 churches from a vision, so he did. They talked about what the did right and wrong and to 'all who are victorious'. Vision of heaven; breath taking (ch. 4) Only Jesus was worthy to open the scrolls. Heaven worshiped. He broke all 7 scrolls where 7 different colored horses delivered good or bad. BUT God's people are preserved. The 7th seal opened the 7 trumpets that brought plague, but 5/6/7 trumpets brought 3 terrors. Encouragement for believers before 7th trumpet/3rd terror--Antichrist. Believers in heaven excited for justice.
Revelation 12-22
A woman gave birth and the dragon wanted the kid. Then a war in heaven, and Satan lost and God spoke. The dragon was thrown to Earth. Then a beast joined, and was given power. Christians might be gone. Another beast joined. But the Lamb comes. And sent 3 angels to say to fear God. God's people will faithfully endure. Might leave, then judgement/final battle. Heaven celebrates. The seven bowls of wrath happen. People still don't repent. The prostitute tries to take over, but God prevails. Babylon is destroyed. Praises that evil will be defeated. And. It was. Thrown into Hell. The beast, dragon, false prophet, and those still against God. Satan is defeated after the thousand year reign. New place--perfect. (20-wow)
Romans
All see God, but some disregard and live for themselves. Judgement is coming, so be a DOER and not just listener. ALL people are not righteous, BUT Jesus came to commune us to God. FAITH of Abraham--STRONG. Faith brings JOY. Adan sinned so all have sinned. Jesus died so all are forgiven if in His elect. Sins power is broken. I am now a slave of Christ and not my sinful flesh. The law reveals sin. I do what my flesh/sinful nature wants, though my Spirit wants God. 2 different parts happening. BUT in Jesus there is no condemnation! We wait for Him-His love has no bounds. God chooses not by decedents, and shows mercy to who He chooses (10:9). We are grafted into His family tree. Belonging to Christ. Do all in how Di would see it. Follow the law of your country. Love and love in the Light. All foods are OK in His sight!!!! But not respecting other believers conviction is sin. All the  greetings and watch for false teachers. Glory to God in all.
