The
Bible tells us the truth about our ourselves, our world,
and God. It is the best way to get unplugged. It is the
most important book anyone could read and study. Some books
help us understand subjects like human behavior, science,
or history and other books are simply entertaining. But
the Bible takes us outside our physical universe into the
very heart of God.
THE
BEAUTY OF THIS ANCIENT BOOK
The
Bible is like a "mobile library" containing sixty-six
different books. The two main divisions of the Bible are
the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament
tells about the beginning of time and the history of Israel.
The New Testament tells about the life of Jesus.
The
Bible is the only book God ever authored. The Bible is how
God communicates with us. He wants us to know Him and know
about His love for us.
Because
God is spirit, we can't see Him or touch Him. We can't peer
at Him through a telescope or run experiments on Him in
a laboratory. But God has spoken to us. The Bible is God's
self-revelation. The truth about God, His nature, thoughts,
and will are revealed in the Bible. It bridges the gap from
the invisible God to our tangible world.
THE
VALUE OF READING THE BIBLE
Your
Creator had a perfect design in mind when He made you. As
you study the Bible, you not only discover God, but you
learn what He wants your life to be and what He desires
from you.
Reading
the Bible is important because it holds the key to meaning
and purpose. Have you ever looked at your life and said,
"There's got to be more to life!" There is. The
Bible tells us what that "more" is and how to
find it.
