Introduction to the Bible

DAY 2 OF 3

The Purpose of the Bible

We must understand how the Bible came to be and why God gave it to us. All of Scripture has four main purposes; and they all point to Jesus. Those four purposes are: (1) To present Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer of the world (2) To provide for us the historical context in which Jesus came (3) To show believers how God wants us to live (4) and to lead the unbeliever into faith in Jesus.

About this Plan

Introduction to the Bible

The Bible is God’s Word given to us - that we might know him and serve him and minister to others. In this lesson, learn that the Bible is a collection of 66 God-inspired books divided into Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament is organized into four categories: The Pentateuch, History Books, Poetry Books, and Prophetic Books.
