NEW TESTAMENT DIVISIONS
The New Testament has also been divided into four groups: Gospels, History, Letters, and Prophecy.
THE GOSPELS:
There are four books in the Gospels. The names of these books are:
| Matthew | Mark | Luke | John |
These books tell about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Their purpose is to lead you to believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God. Find the Gospels in your Bible and then read John 20:31 which states this purpose.
THE BOOK OF HISTORY:
There is one book of history in the New Testament, the book of Acts. This book tells how the church began and fulfilled Christ's commission to spread the Gospel throughout the world. Locate this book in your Bible.
LETTERS:
There are 21 letters in the New Testament. The names of these letters are:
| Romans | Titus |
| I and II Corinthians | Philemon |
| Galatians | Hebrews |
| Ephesians | James |
| Philippians | I and II Peter |
| Colossians | I, II, and III John |
| I and II Thessalonians | Jude |
| I and II Timothy |
The letters are addressed to all believers. Their purpose is to guide them in living and help them do what Jesus commanded. Romans 12 is a good example of their teaching. Turn to this chapter in your Bible and read it. The letters are also sometimes called "epistles" which means letters.
PROPHECY:
Revelation is the only book of prophecy in the New Testament. It tells of the final victory of Jesus and His people. Its purpose is to encourage you to keep living as a Christian should live until the end of time. Its message is summarized in Revelation 2:10.
