"Why did God choose Greek for the New Testament?" | Ancient Biblical Languages w/ Clayton Killion | The Ocala Church Podcast with Pastor Ryan Brister

49 minutes

The Bible, a tapestry of divine revelation, was intricately woven in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, languages chosen by God to carry His eternal truth. Studying these original tongues isn't just academic; it’s an act of devotion. Just as Greek unified the ancient world for the gospel’s spread, so can our pursuit of understanding unify us in faith and knowledge. Let’s honor God’s providence by exploring His Word, step by step, with humility and awe.
