The Bible is a love letter to humanity but why is an ancient book recalling historical events in a completely different culture still relevant to us today?
Is human nature any different? Do we as human beings have the same need for love peace and fulfillment now as they did 2000 years ago?
Through story telling, history, poetry, biography, letters, wisdom and prophesy the Bible reveals Gods plan for humanity over time culminating in the life, teachings and death of Jesus. The bible is complex and seemingly contradictory but rather like a jig-saw puzzle the pieces when placed together in the right place reveal a bigger picture.
The bible is best understood in prayer and in discussion with other believers. Reading the bible changes us, drawing us closer to the loving nature of God and inspires us to be more like Jesus.
It is our spiritual food, both a word for living and a living word.
