Certainly, there are a number of reasons why the Bible was written. But the most common of them all is to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. One more core reason is to highlight the exemplary lives of models of Christianity besides Jesus, and emulate them. Some children have expressed their views herein. BETTY AMUKPO reports.
‘Gives us a historical record of God’s dealings with man’
Why did God give us the Bible? Certainly for a multitude of good reasons. For example: to give us a historical record of God’s dealings with man; to reveal to us much about God Himself and the will of God; to teach about living a holy, God-centered life to tell the inspiring stories of great heroes and heroines of faith; and much, much more.
‘Jesus said, “These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.”
In the book of John 5:39, Jesus said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.” The Bible was written so that we may have knowledge about God, know about Jesus Christ and understand the Word of God. To know what is right and what is wrong and to help me learn.
‘Without the Bible many people will not believe in God’
The Bible was written to teach us and guide us on our lives here on earth, it also gives us the faith that we need because without the Bible many people will not believe in God and the Bible says in the book of John 1:1-2, “In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God, so the word of God is God himself and he speaks to his children through the scriptures.”
