DISCOVERING THE NEW COVENANT<br />

Soon I was leafing through a book of similar paintings<br />

looking for <strong>the</strong>ir hidden secrets. What a discovery! Once I<br />

made that initial discovery, all of <strong>the</strong> pictures seemed to<br />

come alive. I could never look at one of <strong>the</strong>se hidden<br />

pictures in <strong>the</strong> same way again.<br />

In much <strong>the</strong> same way, <strong>the</strong> Scriptures came to life for<br />

Paula and me as we studied. At first we saw what we had<br />

always seen. Then one day <strong>the</strong>y came to life for us. We<br />

begin to see <strong>the</strong> Bible as we had never seen it before. After<br />

seeing <strong>the</strong> truth come to life, we could never view <strong>the</strong> Bible<br />

in <strong>the</strong> same way again. We do not in any way want to put<br />

down ano<strong>the</strong>r person's understanding of Scripture. Nor do<br />

we want to say that we are right and o<strong>the</strong>rs are wrong. All<br />

we can say is that we have seen a picture of God and His<br />

Word that has shattered all our previous paradigms and<br />

given us a new and more complete understanding of God’s<br />

gift to mankind. We are forever grateful for this gift of<br />

God’s grace.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> chapters that follow I will explain <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>ological process that God took us through to break free<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Adventist <strong>the</strong>ological worldview.<br />
