BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES
Introduction
Part 1
Scripture contains principles from the first word to the last word, every chapter contains basic elements that are sometimes repeated to enforce the importance of the principle revealed. These unchanging and absolute principles are presented in a way that all can understand. God wrote a book so that all could comprehend. It is not a book of mystery, it is not a book intended to be kept from the uneducated and the uninitiated.
These principles are foundational in Genesis, and come to fruition in the book of the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
