Into The Bible Every Day 1

When we really read the Bible, we see immediately that, from the beginning to the end, the narratives, stories, poems, and pericopes involve people. The special thing about these people-what we are privy to in reading about them-is that God interacted with them in various ways. God gave them commands and instructions, blessings and rebukes. Because neither God nor His love for each of us has changed, we are able to recognize in the Bible’s pages how God deals with us today. The Bible has words that will minister to us in a thousand different ways. The Bible is relevant today, just as it has been in every preceding generation. Why is this? Because we as humans created in God’s image have not changed. We have the same needs, drives, and motivations that we have always had. The Bible has words of comfort, censure, joy, encouragement, instruction, and eternal hope!
