SAME SAVIOR. DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIONS.
Why Context Matters in Godโs Plan
Ephesians 2:8; Revelation 14:12; 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
INTRODUCTION
The Bible presents one SaviorโJesus Christ, yet it also reveals different administrations (dispensations) in which God deals with mankind. Confusion arises when believers blur Church Age grace with Tribulation endurance. Right division does not deny Christโit defines context. The command is clear: โRightly divide the word of truth.โ
