So What Exactly Is the Bible?

As a written work, the Bible is a collection of sixty-six books, letters, poetry, and prophecies.  As a curiosity, it has baffled every academic field as a historical wonder. Despite being written over the course of 2,000 years, in three languages, by forty writers with social backgrounds as far ranging as kings and tent-makers, the Bible STILL maintained a cohesive narrative. It's historically accurate, archeologically supported, scientifically relevant. It's the most quoted, most printed, and most translated book of all time. It's timeless relevance continues to change hearts and withstood centuries of staunch scrutiny and constant opposition.

 

Odds of such a book existing at all are so long, even the Bible's loudest critics consider it an impossibility. It's not humanly feasible, and yet...it's here. This leaves only two possibilities. Either the Bible is the luckiest, widely persecuted book on the planet, OR a Divine author purposely planned, organized, and oversaw it's creation.

The Bible's Story...

On the forefront, the Bible is a historical eyewitness account of earth's beginnings; the rise and fall of Israel; Jesus's ministry; and the founding of the church. That factual view, however, misses it's greater purpose as the epic and ongoing story about God, His relationship with mankind, and His ultimate plan for all humanity. It reveals who He is; what He's like; and how He feels about us.

​

God created mankind to enjoy fellowship with Him in the beginning, but mankind rejected Him. Doing so broke creation's design, which introduced sin along with its consequences: pain, sickness, strife, and death.

- Old Testament - 

Genesis​​

In the beginning...

​

Covers the beginning of time from creation to the lives of the Israeli Patriarchs from Abraham to Joseph. Sets the ultimate standards of life and the overarching themes the rest of Scripture echoes from God's holiness, to man's sinfulness, to His redemptive plan through Christ.

Leviticus​​

I will walk among you and will be your God...

​

For their benefit and safety, God gives the Israelites protocols and rules for worship so they could safely enjoy, abide, and flourish in His presence. They must out of love respect His deity. Emphasizes God's glorious holiness and His loving desire to bless and dwell among His people.

Exodus​​

I also established my covenant...

​

God delivers the Israelites from slavery to establish a covenant relationship between them for the future Gospel restoration of the world. This covenant is quickly broken, but God remains mercifully faithful to His Gospel plans. Jesus would perfectly fulfill the original Old Covenant Israel failed to keep.

Deuteronomy​​

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart...

​

God instructs the new generation of Israelites. He promises national blessings for their obedience and inevitable judgements for their disobedience. Shows God's ways produce plentiful peace; alternative ways bring destruction; and humans are unable to obey God perfectly. A Savior must change their hearts.

Numbers​​

I will walk among you and will be your God...

​

Isreal refuses God's promised land and leadership. As a result God judges them to wander the desert until their generation's numbers die off and the next generation's numbers arise. A sobering account about the consequences of refusing God's good plans.
