The First Mention Principle – Series 1-10

This complete ten-part KJV Bible study examines the first mention principle—the recognition that God often plants the seed of a doctrine in its earliest scriptural setting and develops that truth through later revelation. Beginning with the first biblical mentions of blood, love, worship, grace, faith, fear, sin, prophet, kingdom, and holiness, the series studies each word within its immediate context before tracing its doctrinal pattern through the rest of Scripture. It distinguishes the first appearance of a word from the earlier presence of its underlying doctrine, warns against turning sound Bible study into mechanical superstition, and demonstrates the importance of comparing Scripture with Scripture and rightly dividing the word of truth. Along the way, the essays clarify sacrifice, redemption, judgment, obedience, saving grace, biblical faith, godly fear, the dominion of sin, the prophetic office, Israel’s promised kingdom, and the holiness of God. Readers completing the series will understand how great Bible doctrines grow from divinely planted seeds into fully revealed truths without confusing Israel with the Church, law with grace, or an introductory pattern with the doctrine’s complete revelation.
