What’s the Bible All About?

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,

for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”

(2 Timothy 3:16)

The Bible is not only a great book; it is the greatest of all books because it is inspired by God. Its greatness is not necessarily found in its fulfilled prophecies, its historical accuracy, its accounts of God’s mighty acts, or its guidelines for living. These are indeed fascinating aspects of the Bible. Each adds its own evidence of authenticity to the “big picture” of the Bible as a whole. And yet, the Bible’s greatest wonder is the revelation of Jesus Christ Himself and the work of redemption He has accomplished to save His people from sin. It declares how He came and worked out, to the satisfaction of God the Father, all things necessary to bring them to eternal life and glory.

The truly remarkable facet of the Bible is that Christ crucified and risen as the Righteousness of God for His people can be seen in each and every book – Old Testament as well as the New Testament. Every book, every chapter and each line holds a picture of Jesus Christ, the Savior of sinners.
