The Garden Of Eden And Covenant Relationships
The second chapter of Genesis is the only passage in the Bible which provides a detailed description of the sixth day of creation. The importance of the record cannot be overestimated, as it outlines the state and condition of the world before sin entered into the human race. There are four parts to the chapter: (1) A review of chapter 1, verses 4-7; (2) A description of the garden of Eden, verses 8-14; (3) The establishment of the covenant of works, verses 15-17; (4) The

42 Bible Doctrine – Gill’s ‘Body Of Divinity’ Aligned With The Framework Of Sovereign Grace
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous studies, I have presented to you the table of contents belonging to John Gill’s Body of Divinity. He has divided his teachings into two parts. The first part is a doctrinal body of theology, composed of seven books, or branches, containing one-hundred-and-seven chapters. The second part is a practical body, composed of four branches, with one appendix and containing forty-nine chapters. We therefore have a total of eleven branches, one appendix and one-hundred-and-fifty-six chapters.

Gill’s “Body Of Divinity” Aligned With The Framework Of Sovereign Grace
The one-hundred-and-fifty-one chapters belonging to John Gill's 'Body of Divinity' are overlaid onto the Framework of Sovereign Grace, providing a visual aid to the Doctor's teachings. The believer is encouraged to study the Framework and its alignment with Gill's doctrine, as this will serve as a navigational tool for his systematic theology. It will also enable the believer to keep his/her mind's-eye on the 'big picture', lest he/she be lost in the details.

The Creation Of The World
The first chapter of Genesis underscores a number of important truths apart from the creative works of God. For instance, the family unit is set apart as a divinely appointed institution, thereby denouncing the practices of fornication, abortion and single-parenthood; the polity of the local church is set forth to be that of pastor/deacons, thereby denouncing the notion of plural elderships; animals are separated into distinct species, thereby denouncing the fallacy of biological evolution; humans are made in the image and likeness of God, thereby denouncing the error of Adam and Eve being created only in a neutral state as well as the error of God actively creating Adam and Eve sinful; humans are commissioned to care for the environment, thereby denouncing the unbiblical environmentalism…

41 Bible Doctrine – Gill’s ‘Body Of Divinity’ And The Table Of Contents Rearranged
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous study, I presented to you the Table of Contents belonging to Gill’s ‘Body of Divinity’. He has arranged his teachings under a doctrinal and a practical body of theology. The doctrinal body is made up of seven “books”, or branches, of theology, with a total of one-hundred-and-seven chapters. The practical body is made up of four “books”, or branches, ending with an Appendix, having a total of forty-nine chapters. All in all, Gill’s systematic theology has a total of eleven chapters, one Appendix and one-hundred-and-fifty-six chapters. Now, for the purpose of aligning these branches and chapters with the Framework of Sovereign Grace, I have rearranged the headings. For this…
