James, Peter 1-2, John 1-2-3, Jude
What do they say about The Cross? The Death? The Burial? The Resurrection?
The Return of Christ? The coming Kingdom?
The Gospel of Salvation is in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4!
The way of Salvation is in Romans 10:9-13!
NO CROSS, Not mentioned in the Jewish Epistles
DEATH (of Christ) Only found in 1 Peter!
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
NO BURIAL, Not mentioned in the Jewish Epistles
RESURRECTION (of Christ) Only found in 1 Peter!
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
SALVATION (Suggest that it is based on Faith AND works – obedience to the LAW)
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
The following do say that the Lord Jeus Christ is the Saviour:
2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2 Peter 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
KING, KINGDOM (Only mentioned twice)
James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
2 Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I would suggest that these epistles were written for the Jew AND WILL NO DOUBT BE USED BY THE 144,000 during the Tribulation.
Paul’s epistle to the Hebrews will also play a great part during the Tribulation and it references:
The Cross, The Death, The Burial, The Resurrection, The Return of Christ and The Coming Kingdom.
