Something to Think About:
The Subject of the Bible is Redemption. It was purposed and planned by the Father, accomplished by the Son, and is revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.
The Purpose of the Bible is to provide a foundation for our faith, to make us wise unto salvation, and conform us unto the image of God's own Son.
Dwight L. Moody said of the Bible:
Admit it to be God's Word.
Submit to its Truths.
Commit much of it to memory.
Transmit it to others.
