God's Passion and Plan
Your word is like a lamp for my
feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105
The purpose of the Bible is simply to
proclaim God's plan to save His children. It asserts that man is lost
and needs to be saved. And it communicates the message that Jesus is
the God in the flesh sent to save his children.
Though the Bible was written over
sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central
theme--salvation through faith in Christ. Begun by Moses in the lonely
desert of Arabia and finished by John on the lonely Isle of Patmos, it is
held together by a strong thread: God's passion and God's plan to save His
children.
What a vital truth!
Understanding the purpose of the Bible is like setting the compass in the
right direction. Calibrate it correctly and you'll journey safely.
But fail to set it, and who knows where you'll end up.
