Paul's Witness to the Jews: Exploring the Apostle Paul's Use of the Hebrew Scripture to Reveal Jesus Christ

Paul's Witness to the Jews examnes the Apostle Paul's profound engagement with the Hebrew Scriptures to reveal Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. Throughout his epistles, Paul consistently demonstrates that the Old Testament is not a collection of disconnected laws and prophecies but a unified testimony pointing toward Christ. Drawing from Romans through Philemon, this eBook traces how Paul weaves the Hebrew Scriptures into his arguments, showing that faith in Christ fulfills the Law and the Prophets while offering eternal life to all who believe.

Central to Paul's theology is the principle that righteousness comes by faith, not works, anchored in Habakkuk 2:4: "The just shall live by faith." Paul applies this truth in Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews to demonstrate that the Law, while holy and instructive, cannot justify or transform the human heart. Through Christ, believers receive the Spirit, which brings internal transformation, freedom from sin, and enduring access to God. The eBook explores the contrast between the temporary glory of the Old Covenant, exemplified in Moses' veiled radiance, and the unveiled, eternal glory of the New Covenant through Christ.

The work also examines practical implications for both Jewish and Gentile believers: faith is active, relational, and transformative, sustaining Christians through trials, shaping obedience, and securing eternal hope. By faithfully interpreting Old Testament types, shadows, and prophecies, Paul reveals how Jesus fulfills God's promises, from the sacrificial system to Messianic prophecy, culminating in the establishment of the New Covenant.

This book provides a comprehensive study of Paul's method of scriptural interpretation, demonstrating how the Apostle bridges the Hebrew Scriptures and the Gospel. It challenges contemporary readers to embrace a faith that is deeply rooted in God's Word, recognizing that the promises of the Law and the Prophets are realized and perfected in Jesus Christ. Paul's writings stand as a powerful testimony that all Scripture bears witness to Christ, calling believers to live by faith and experience the transforming power of God's Spirit today.
