The Bible Is One Story
Every Book Points to Jesus Christ
Although the Bible contains sixty six individual books, together they reveal one magnificent story. From the creation of the world in Genesis to the promise of a new heaven and a new earth in Revelation, Scripture consistently reveals God's love, His faithfulness, and His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.
Each book contributes something unique. Some record history, others proclaim prophecy, offer wisdom, or encourage believers through letters. Together they reveal God's unchanging character and His desire to draw mankind into a relationship with Himself.
As you study each book, remember that the goal is not simply to finish another lesson. The goal is to know the Author of Scripture more deeply and to allow His Word to transform your life.
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.Romans 15:4
