In Bible study, many times a quick one page overview or synthesis of a book can help get an overall understanding and aid in learning the Bible. The synthesis can help organize all the many other details in a book.
We are saved by faith – chapters 1-8

We will never be separated from God’s love — Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Live for God and each other (love) – chapters 12-16
Let your life be transformed and renewed — Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Live for the Lord Jesus — Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof..
Oops, don’t judge others — Rom 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at contempt thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
God will eventually deal with all evil — Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise (crush) Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
It’s just by Faith — Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
We all are sinners — Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
We can be made right with God through Jesus Christ — Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
God wants to give us eternal life — Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God loves us and is for us, so He gave us His son — Romans 5:8 But God showed his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God’s love will never be separated from us — Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus says in John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
Jesus is talking about abiding, a close fellowship with the Father. He is talking about how we, as believers, are like branches on a vine. He is the true vine, we obtain our spiritual nourishment from Him. This describes an organic, living and real relationship between Jesus and us, or between us and the Father. We are simply in fellowship with Him.
The first condition, there, is, “If you abide in Me… “ Without getting into the context, there, one way to abide is to stay in the Lord, to rest in the Lord, or to remain in the Lord. I would even say it means to do the things God wants you to do, to obey the Lord. He says, “If you abide in Me”. Then He says, “And if My words abide in you”. This passage in the book of John says, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you”, you can ask whatever you will and I will do it. What words is He talking about when Jesus says, “And My words abide in you”? I believe He is specifically talking about the word He is speaking. I believe it also has to include the words of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
Here is a very simple version of the Bible in just five (5) words:
God
Man
Jesus Christ
Heaven
Hell
Now for more details:
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. God, then, created man in His image for His purpose and glory. Satan tempted them, and they disobeyed God. The sin and evil separated humankind from God. But God made a promise of a redeemer and the rest of the Bible points to Christ the redeemer.
God loves the world and sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, as God and man to the world. Jesus is the world’s long-awaited Savior that God had promised since man fell into sin. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for sins, and He resurrected from the dead. We can now come to God through Jesus Christ and no longer be separated from Him. Jesus is the only way to God! Jesus gives eternal life to all those who believe in Him
Jesus will come again and bring His people into His eternal Kingdom where they will live with God forever. This final heavenly place is called the New Jerusalem.
History is God’s story, so no human, world or cosmic event is a surprise to God. Timing and events are in His hands. Ultimately God will be in full control, but for a short time evil ( the Devil) has a little freedom. Ultimately God will be fully expressed through every human being, some happily in heaven, some in unhappiness in hell.
God is outside of time so He knows the beginning and the end. He is uniquely qualified to write a book like the Bible that predicts the future.
Overview of Bible Prophecy
prophecy about the Lord’s first coming (happened 2000 years ago)
prophecy about the Lord’s second coming (future)
some Bible prophecy is about BOTH (Isaiah 9:6, and Daniel)
it seems there are more verses in the Bible about His second return, than the first.
prophecy about Israel
In the Lord’s first coming, He came as a man like us and as a lamb to be crucified on a cross for our sins, then rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
In the Lord’s second coming He will come as a warrior to conquer an evil earth that does not represent God’s character. He will rule the earth from Jerusalem.
God did not give-up with Jonah. He still wanted Jonah to fulfill God’s original plan, purpose or burden that God called him for.
In Jonah 3 it says that God spoke again to Jonah. God speaks again. God again asked Jonah to go to Nineveh, the city He had originally commissioned him to go to. Eventually Jonah obeys, goes to that city and preaches, and as a result those people turned away from their unrighteousness and to God. See more at: Jonah in the Bible
