This lesson demonstrates that the Old Testament consistently teaches the reality of life after death and bodily resurrection. Beginning with Job and continuing through Samuel, David, the Psalms, Isaiah, and Daniel, the lesson shows that God’s people looked forward to a real future with Him. Jesus affirmed these Scriptures when He corrected the Sadducees, and the lesson concludes that the hope of eternal life is a consistent message from Genesis to Revelation through God’s unchanging character and the saving work of Jesus Christ.

This lesson traces the revelation of the Trinity throughout the Old and New Testaments. It shows how God progressively revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, explains the roles of each Person in Scripture, and encourages believers to know God more deeply through careful study of the Bible.
This lesson continues our study of the Big Questions of Life by examining answers found in Genesis and Job. We learn that God is our Creator and therefore the foundation for our purpose and meaning in life. We also gain a clearer understanding of Satan—his origin, limitations, and methods of deception. Finally, Job provides one of the Bible’s earliest and clearest affirmations of life after death and bodily resurrection, giving believers hope that extends beyond this life. Through Job’s experiences, we are reminded that God remains sovereign, even in suffering, and that our ultimate future is secure in Him.
