To understand the Bible rightly, we must recognize that every part of it points to Jesus. This is exactly what Jesus affirmed about the Law and the Prophets. As the divine author of Scripture, God has woven a unified story centered on the gospel of His Son. To miss that gospel in any part of the Bible is to miss God’s intentional design to reveal Christ.

Unlike Discovery Bible Study, which focuses solely on the chosen passage, "The Gospel In All Of Scripture" invites you to draw from your knowledge of Christ and gospel-centered passages to deepen your understanding. Rather than approaching Scripture as if encountering it for the first time, this method encourages you to connect each passage to the fuller revelation of God in Christ. Because of this, it requires some familiarity with the Old Testament, the New Testament, and especially the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), which reveal the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus.

Every Bible study method has its unique approach, focus, and purpose. This one is centered on understanding how each passage fits into the greater picture of the gospel.

The Gospel In All Of Scripture Bible Study

1. BROKENNESS – What does this passage reveal about the world’s brokenness?

2. GOD’S PLAN – What does this passage reveal about God’s plan?

3. JESUS – How does this passage point to Jesus?

4. GOSPEL RESPONSE – How does seeing Jesus here change how I live?

Jesus Relating How the Old Testament Speaks of Himself

By using this tool, we train ourselves to read the Bible as Jesus did—seeing the gospel woven through every part of Scripture. This deepens our love for God’s Word, strengthens our faith, and transforms our walk with Christ.

For a more elaborate experience with this approach, Tim Keller has a Youtube video collection called Discover the Gospel in Every Book of the Bible). His focus is looking at each book in the Old Testament  and seeing God’s intentional design to reveal the coming Christ.  Unfortunately, Tim Keller passed away before finishing this project but he did cover 14 books of the Old Testament.
