#3 Outline

With regard to Exodus, I use the outline Mr. Sells taught us, but with at least one really significant modification. Here it is (modified):

I. The Story of Redemption: Chapters 1-13:16

A. The Need for Redemption Chapter 1

B. The Human Deliverer Chapters 2-4

C. The Exaltation of the Divine Redeemer. Chapters 5-11

D. Redemption by Blood Chapter 12

E. Redemption by Blood Remembered Chapter 13:1-16

II. The Results of Redemption Chapters 13:17-34

A. Divine Guidance Chapter 13:17-22

B. Salvation (Deliverance) Chapter 14[1]

C. A Joyful Song Chapter 15

D. Divine Supply of Needs Chapters 16-17:7

E. Victory Chapter 17:8-16

F. Wisdom Chapter 18

G. Obedience Chapters 19-24

H. Worship Chapters 25-31 & 35-40

I. Glorious Separation Chapters 32-34

This outline has become the structure that forms the entire basis for my study of the book of Exodus. As I proceed through the study of the book, I adhere to the outline because I believe that it reflects the flow of truth through the book remarkably. But I am not a slave to my outline. If, as I study, I come to see that my outline is inadequate, I am free to modify it.

[1] This is where I felt the need to modify Mr. Sells’ outline. He had chapter 14 included with the Story of Redemption, labeling it “Redemption by Power.” I see it as Salvation, which is a direct result of Redemption, and not a form of Redemption. For more on this see Appendix A.
