The Bible is more than just an old book. It’s the most read, most printed, and most life-changing book in history. But more than anything, it’s the Word of God—His message to us.

The Bible Was Written by People—But Inspired by God

The Bible wasn’t dropped out of the sky. It was written by around 40 different people over a span of 1,500 years—yet it tells one clear story: God’s love for humanity and His plan to rescue us through Jesus.

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realise what is wrong in our lives.”

—2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT)

The Bible is God-breathed. That means the words on the page aren’t just human ideas—they carry the power and truth of God Himself.

It’s One Big Story—with Jesus at the Centre

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one incredible story: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. It begins with God creating the world, moves through humanity’s brokenness, and leads us to Jesus—the Saviour who came to make things right.

“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!”

—John 5:39 (NLT)

The Old Testament prepares the way. The New Testament reveals the fulfilment in Christ. And all of it is relevant to your life today.

It’s a Guide for Life

The Bible is more than information—it’s transformation. It teaches us who God is, how to live, how to love others, and how to walk in freedom.

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”

—Psalm 119:105 (NLT)

It helps you make decisions, grow in wisdom, overcome struggles, and hear God’s voice. The more you read it, the more it begins to read you.

It’s Alive and Life-Giving

You don’t just read the Bible for knowledge—you read it to meet with God. It’s through His Word that He speaks to your heart and renews your mind.

“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword…”

—Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)

You’ll find hope in its pages. Strength when you’re weak. Conviction when you’ve gone off course. Encouragement when you need it most.

Final Thought

The Bible isn’t just for pastors or religious people—it’s for everyone. And the best way to start is to open it with an open heart.

If you’re just getting started, try reading the Gospel of John in the New Testament. Ask God to speak to you as you read. He will.

“The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.”

—Isaiah 40:8 (NLT)
