The Summary of the Bible..

 The Summary of the Bible..

The Bible is arguably the greatest book ever written because it is the manual to a happy and healthy lifestyle.  Answers to every question in life are introduced and answered.  In short, it is a book about a King, HIS kingdom, and HIS people. It is in essence a love story.

The story goes that at first God had an excellent relationship with HIS people who walked away from HIM.  In their retreat they encountered numerous obstacles and opposition.  They tried to make their way back to HIM unsuccessfully.  HE in turn intervened and sent help in the form of HIS Son to lead them back to HIM.  As a result, those who choose to return can do so before HE resends HIS Son to physically take them back to HIM in HIS homeland.  Those who refuse to return will be eternally banished.  Those who do will have the opportunity to live in a new earth, almost like starting over again from scratch.

The Bible is divided into two sections: 

1. The Old Testament

The Old Testament is divided into five sections:

God's attitude towards man is one of pure love, not condemnation.  If we would only give HIM a chance to prove it to us.  I dare you to take the leap and ask HIM to expose HIS love to you today.  Ask HIM to shine HIS light into your dark situations.  HIS desire is that your life be filled with joy and peace and fulfilment. Don't live on empty when HE has made so many accomodations for you to live otherwise.  We are all equally qualified for HIS goodness and grace. Just try HIM today! The proof is in the pudding!
