The Bible

“The Bible”

Rev. Mark Kosko
Jeremiah 24:6-7 Return to Him with All Your Heart.
A. The Bible is the Word of God:
Scripture is the means in which God has communicated to us not only his very
existence but also his grand plan of creation of the world and everything in it and
his greater intention of restoring all of humanity to a right relationship with him
through his Son Christ Jesus.
Everything we know and believe as Christians is from Scripture
God as sole creator, Trinity, original sin of man, salvation through the death
and resurrection of his messiah son.
Isaiah 46: 9-10: God as Alpha and Omega
Old Testament prophecy points to Christ Jesus
Compare John 1:1-2 with Isaiah 55:8-11
B. The Bible has been regarded to be many things by many people:
Guideline for good moral living
Science book

C. But what did God intend:
The Bible is a grand narrative of God working through the ages starting with
creation and culminating in God’s desire for us to love Him and love ourselves
and others because of His Son Christ Jesus.
Through this perspective we see the absolute eternal truths of Scripture
without having to argue and debate every point.
From this relationship founded in love with the Lord we: Believe, Belong,
Become
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace,
along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
