✨️What is in the Bible? What does it tell us?

By Moderator -
Great question!


The Bible in a nutshell:

* What is the Bible about: Redemption

♡The Whole Bible points fallen man to Jesus.

♡In the OT God promised to destroy the power of death. The NT tells how he did it.

♡In the OT God promised a Savior to take away the sins of humans, the NT tells how He did it.

◇ Beyond that it tells us who God is and how to live in righteousness (to become more holy and Christlike). 

Here is a bit more clarity:

For believers:
What Christians need to gain from Scripture is really 4 things which the below expands a bit to show. 

Scripture helps and shows us:
*Growing to know our great Creator God
*Knowing more about our Savior so we can be more like Him in holy living
*Grow in holy living; living out the Communicable attributes (in righteousness) as we were made in God's image. 
*Helps us Grow in the Fruit of the Spirit
*Helps us Live out the greatest commandments; Love God & Love other humans.
*Points out unrighteousness/sin, and learning how to conquer sins.
*teaches us to Avoiding legalism
*Shows us the importance of OT and NT; all 66 books
*it shows us unrighteousness of others lives to avoid. They lead to destruction, and harm. Not to blessing. 
*Shows us righteous peoples example for us to follow. 
*Leads to Living in gratitude and humility and Trusting and relying on Him.
*Tells us all things work out for good for those who belong to Him.
*Leads us to hold tight to God in hard situations, and know Jesus is walking with us through it to the end
*Leads to Praising, thanking God, Glorifying Him with our lives. 
*Leads to Rejoicing and forward looking to an eternity with Jesus, in a blessed and sin free place.

For the unsaved non believer:
It tells you about who God is, who we are, how we need to be made right with God and restored; as the Gospel reveals. It tells us the Gospel and calls us to obey it. 


Hope this helps.
