Unity in Scripture

“. . . holy men of God spoke as they were

moved by the Holy Spirit."

2 Peter 1:21

Today's Bible Reading: 2 Peter 1:16-21.

Although one can derive inspiration from any portion of the Scripture, it is better to have an understanding of the general structure of the Bible to get the most out of it. The Old Testament is an account of a nation, Israel. Out of that nation came Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. The New Testament is an account of a Man, the Son of man, the Saviour. God Himself became a man, so that we might know what He is like. His appearance on the earth was the central, most important event of history. The Old Testament gives the background for this event; the New Testament tells the story of its fulfilment. You will find a unity of thought and purpose which indicates that one mind inspired the writing of the whole. When read carefully and prayerfully, we come to see that from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible points us to the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom God’s plan of salvation is perfectly fulfilled.

Prayer: Inspire me, Lord God, as I read the Bible so that I may be able to understand more clearly Your divine teachings. In Jesus name. Amen.
