This post contains a 5-minute video on typology and an edited blog post about the video, also by Ligonier. This is another post in my mini-series on connections between the Old and New Testaments. Among the comments Sinclair Ferguson makes, he talks about the Old Testament believers who were saved by looking forward to Christ, by grace; just as New Testament believers are saved.

The Covenant – R C Sproul – [Part 4]
There is a war on God’s Word from both within and outside the church, and doubts about the trustworthiness of God’s word arise in the hearts of the faithful. How can we be sure God will do all He has promised? Dr. Sproul examines this thought as he explains what measures God has taken to ensure His promises to us.
The Wrath of God in Preaching – R C Sproul
This post features a sermon by R C Sproul on the Wrath of God in general. His sermon text is Leviticus 10, the Death of Nadab and Abihu for offering ‘strange fire’ before Yahweh. If your church is teaching you that the God of the Old Testament is the wrathful God and the God of the New Testament is all about grace, then you absolutely need to hear this sermon. A pastor actually spoke such words to me shortly after I was born again while reading through the Bible. There are many pastors who teach such error. Sproul says enough from the New Testament to confirm that the same God is the one present on the pages of both testaments; that is, that ‘God’s wrath’ is still a reality.
Unity of Old and New Testaments – Part 2
The purpose of this series is to show that Bible covenants cause the Old and New Testaments to have unity. The Old and New Testaments, are the revelation of One God to a people He is calling out of this world. One can easily see the truth of that statement if he/she looks at God’s plan of redemption via the covenants He entered into with mankind in order to restore him, to redeem him. Excerpts from John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion will be used to support my purpose statement.
What is biblical typology? – Got Questions Ministries – [Part 1]
This is the first post in a mini-series that will use John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion to show the interrelatedness the Old and New Testaments. I hope to show readers that the Old and New Testaments are intimately connected by way of covenants. A fundamental concept that must be understood in order to see the connectedness of the two testaments is typology.
Why Should We Pray if God Has Planned All Things? – Pastor Sinclair Ferguson – Ligonier Ministries
The 2-minute video of this post, is about God’s sovereignty and our responsibility in prayer. He is our Father and wants to ‘catch us up into His purposes’ via prayer, according to Dr. Sinclair Ferguson.
