HOW TO IDENTIFY A DISPENSATION!

FOUR THINGS COMMON TO EACH DISPENSATION!

1. MAN'S STATE AT THE BEGINNING.

What were things like at the beginning of the dispensation?  
What was man responsible to do?  
What did God reveal to man? 

2. MAN'S RESPONSIBILITY.

God has given man certain responsibilities and man is required to be a faithful steward of what God has revealed to him. 
What responsibilities and obligations has God given to man? 
What was man told to do or not to do?

3. MAN'S FAILURE.

In every dispensation we will see the terrible failure of man, reminding us again and again that man is a sinner who is in need of a Savior! 
How has man succeeded or failed to meet his responsibilities? 
In what ways did man obey or disobey the Lord? 

4. GOD'S JUDGMENT.

When man fails to faithfully handle God's revealed truth, then judgment must follow. 
Each dispensation ends in man's failure and God's judgment.
