What Is The Bible?

The Bible is God's Word, given to us to tell us how we can know God.

2 Peter 1:21 - "For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit"

God wants to speak to you through its pages. He wants you to come to know Him by discovering Jesus Christ, who is the focus of the Bible.

The Bible is a collection of books. These books were written over many centuries, and they were gradually brought together into their present form.

The first five books of the Bible is known as the "Torah," which is the Hebrew word for God's Law is found in the Old Testament. Books in the Old Testament talked about God's dealings with His people.

The life of Jesus was recorded in the first four books of the New Testament, commonly called the Gospel.

The Bible is like a 'operating manual' for us. It teaches us how to live our present lives and prepare for life after we die.
