BIBLE STUDY PROJECT CORRELATION

BIBL 104 Name: Victoria Sellick Due: 11/27/23 LUO- BIBL 104- Prof. Sailer B IBLE S TUDY P ROJECT : C ORRELATION Passage: Acts 19:11-22 A. How does this passage from Acts fit within the metanarrative of the Bible? State what type of story you believe this to be (creation, fall, redemption, or new creation) and explain why you believe this to be so? Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (150-300 words) in length. It may be good to review chapter 6 in Everyday Bible Study to recall what each of these four themes are about. The narrative of God collaborating miracles through Paul in Acts 19:11-22 parallels the Redemption theme in the Bible's metanarrative. The redemption tale is about redeemed or saved mankind from its sins. Miracles were done via Paul, according to Acts 19:11-22. The touch of Paul's clothing would heal people and drive bad spirits away. In addition, Paul would cast forth demonic spirits by invoking Jesus' name. The same Jesus who effected salvation at Calvary when he was crucified and died for our sins. Further on in the passage, it tells of witnesses to the miracles being forced to publicly confess their crimes and the Lord's message spreading across the country. These witnesses witnessed God's promises being fulfilled and were rescued as a result. This passage demonstrates redemption in a variety of ways. B. How does your theological principle from Acts 19:11-22 fit with the rest of the Scripture? This principle is the one you have written out in 1-3 sentences in the Interpretation Assignment. If your theological principle is a true Biblical principle, it will be reflected throughout the Scriptures. Where is the theological principle discovered in this New Testament narrative found elsewhere in the Scriptures? Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (150-300 words) in length. Be specific. Give, explain, and cite your supporting passage(s) from Scripture. The theological foundation "there is true power in the name of Jesus, which cannot be used by those who do not have a relationship with him" is obvious in this verse. First, as Paul drove out demonic spirits, he invoked Jesus' name. According to John 14:13-14, "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son." If you ask me to do something in my name, I will." According to Acts 19:15, an evil spirit said to the Seven Sons, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?" This verse demonstrates that if a person does not have a connection with the Lord, using his name will not provide assistance. Acts 4:12 says, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Jesus verifies this in John 14:6 when he states, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." No one approaches the Father except through me." Page 1 of 2
