II ip 11 v Dividing the Word
Hatsell Barrett Baxter, in (jospel Advocate
The apostle Paul wrote, “Study to show thyself approved
unto tiod, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim. 2: 15.) Ihis matter of
“rightly dividing the word of truth is of vital importance,
fo|^ it is impossible to understand the will of God until one
knows how n> divide the word correctly.
Many an honest, sincere person has picked up his Bible
with the full intention oi reading it to learn the will of God
and then of obeying God's commandments tally and complete-
ly, yet the result has been a Mate of mental contusion. Nor-
mally, one begins tile leading ot a book at the beginning. In
studying the Bible to learn what the will of God is tor man
today, however, this approach may be rather deceptive, l'or
example, whei a person in- the twentieth century begins to
the Bible fi, in the beginning he finds, after a short while,
that be is reading about the offering of sacrifices, the making
of annual pilgrimages to .lei usaleni, and the keeping of the
sabbath day. lb also reads that Hie is to abstain from cer-
tain meats which are common in his everyday diet. He finds
that what he is reading is so foreign to the age in which he
lives, that he. lay.- the Bible aside, confused, discouraged, and
with no knowledge of Where to ram.
The Three Dispensations
W nat such a prison needs to know is that God has had
three major dispensations in which he has dealt with man.
First, came the Patriarchal Age, beginning with Adam and
lasting until tilt- time of Moses, a period ot some 2,500 yeats.
During this period there was ik? written law, for the Bible
had pot been written, hence God spoke to the “Patriarchs
directly through dreams or visions or through the appearance
of angels. There was no temple, tabernacle, or church, though
there were sacrifices to be.offered and commandments to be
The second great period was the Mosaic Age, the period
from Moses until Christ, a period of some 1,500 years in
length. It was during this period that the Old Testament por-
tion of the Bible was written1 and the law of Moses given. I he
ten commandments and all of the additional commandments
of Moses' law constitute the instructions given by God to his
people. There was a tabernacle and, later, a temple, with a
full and complete system of sacrifices, offered by the Levitical
priests.
The third period is the Christian Age, which began at the
end of the life of Christ and will continue until the end of time.
This is the church age and is described in the New Testa-
ment. The Bible refers to it as "the end of the ages,” which
mentis that it is the final dispensation before the corning of
the Lord and the end of time. How much longer it will con-
tinue no one knows.
. In reading the Bible, it is important to know1 whether
the instructions being read apply to the Patriarchal Age, the
Mosaic Age, or the Christian Age. There .are certain things
which those of us under the Christian dispensation do not
need to do: for example, the offering of sacrifices or the
keeping of the seventh day. It is a situation analogous to the
various stages in the development of our country. First, this
continent was under Indian domination and the laws of the
land were the tribal laws of the red man. Later, European
countries conquered this continent and made the laws for
those who lived here. Finally, after our independence, the
constitution of the United States is the law of the land, it
would be foolish for anyone now l{v)ng to consider himself
under the Indian law or the colonial Taw, just as it would he
foolish for anyone living now to consider himself under the
law of Most* or under the directions given during the Patri-
archal Age. This important "rightly dividing the word of
truth” is essential to an umlerstanding of God’s will for man
in this present age.
What the Scriptures Say
Wo are deeply concerned with what the inspired scrip-
ture- say about "rightly dividing the word of truth" into Old
and New Testaments. There are three books in the New
.Testament which very clearly point out the relationship be-
tween the old and new covenants, as indicated in the following
passages:
A. Komans (chapters G, 7, 8). Especially notice G: 15;
7: 1-0; 8: 1-1.
B. Galatians. Especially notice 2: 19-21; 3: 23-29; 4: 24-
20, 28-21.
C. Hebrews (chapters 7, 8, 9). Especially notice 8: 7-13;
10: 1, 4, ...
in- addition to these passages which distinctly point out
that Christians are no longer under the old law, but under
the law of Christ, notice Matt. 5: 17, 18; 17: 1-5. The fifteenth
chapter of Acts also points out that Christians are not under
the Mosaic law, in the important particular of circumcision.
Luke 5: 36, 37 contains two final illustrations from the Lord
himself, designed to say that his gospel is .not a new patcli
on an old garment, nor new wine in old wineskins. The law
of Christ is new, unique, and takes precedent over the earlier
laws. Col. 2: 14 suggests that the old law has been taken
out of the way and nailed to the cross.
In view of these arguments, it is sometimes suggested
tliat we are "tearing the Old Testament out of the Bible and
throwing it away.” Nothing could bo further from the truth;
we are simply taking the Old Testament in its place. The
apostle Paul, discussing the Old Testament period, said, “Now
these things happened unto them by way of example; and
they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends
of the ages are conic.” (1 Cor. 10: 11.) We read the Old
Testament in order to understand the new. Without- it we
would not understand why Christ needed to come, nor would
we have the wonderful examples of inspiration and instruction
which we find in the great persons who lived in the long ago.
The inspirational quality of the Psalms and the evidences of
inspiration found in the prophecies are all very important to
Christians. We are only saying, as the scriptures say, fhat
those who live since Christ died on the cross and since the
church began are not under the commandments of the Old
Testament but under commandments of the law of Christ. It
should also be said that in many instances laws of the Old
Testament have been incorporated into the law of Christ. We
obey them, not because they happen to be in the old, but be-
cause they are part of the new, which is the law binding
upon us,
(Bandera Church of Christ is located in its beautiful stone
building on Delightful Hill, on the corner of Thirteenth and
Sycamore Streets, four blocks northwest of the Court House.
You are cordially invited to attend services there.)
