What is the Bible About?
But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.
Acts 3:18–19
The Bible is about God. It teaches us what to believe about him and what he requires of us.
In the Bible God shows his glory, his ways, what he has done, what he commands, his plans, his saving works, and his promises.
The hero of the Bible from beginning to end is Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is God’s message before Jesus was born. In it he makes gospel promises about his Savior who will come. The New Testament is God’s message after Jesus is born. In it he fulfills those promises in Jesus who has arrived.
Ultimately, the Bible leads us to Jesus and life in him. Once we know him and believe in him, it teaches us how to live in a way that reflects his worth and character.
Scripture 1.2.
