Why was the Bible written?
The Bible was written so that we may know the truth, receive hope, and understand the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.
01THE SHORT ANSWER
The Bible was written so that we may know the truth, receive hope, and understand the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.
From Moses and the prophets to the apostles, the Scriptures show us God's plan and direct us towards Jesus.
02THE WORD
Here is what the Bible says about this question.
“For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
Romans 15:4
“Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”
Luke 24:27
“From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.”
2 Timothy 3:15
03WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME
The Bible contains many books, people, and events, but they are not simply disconnected stories.
From beginning to end, the Scripture shows us: The Creator; the creation of man; the entry of sin and death; God's promise; the promised King; the coming of Jesus; His death and resurrection; salvation and new life; the fulfillment of God's plan.
Jesus, beginning with Moses and the prophets, explained to the disciples what the Scriptures had said about Him.
The story of Scripture directs us towards Jesus.
