time periods begin and end, you will become thoroughly convinced in your own
heart and mind that there has to be a One True and Living God, and the Holy
Bible must be the Word of God. You will reach a place where you will no longer
say that you believe the Bible is the Word of God, but your faith being made so
certain, and your confidence in the Bible so strong, you will be able to say to

Tool #4: Know the 10 Essential Elements of the New Testament Message
The New Testament of our Holy Bible is made up of 27 books. There are at least
eight, probably nine writers of these 27 books. We know who wrote each of the

We say there are 10 truths. Knowing what these 10 spiritual truths are, we can
read from any book in the New Testament, and by remaining alert for any one
of these 10 truths, they jump out at you, and help you to better understand
what it is that you are reading. Most amazing of all, the 10 Essential Elements
of the New Testament Message can be found and clearly identified in the works
of all nine writers, confirming to us that these are the most important truths
that God wants us to know and to convey to others from the New Testament.
The amazing thing is: All nine writers agree and say the very same thing. They

see that they proceed in the order they will be given to you. You will become
