The Unity Of Scripture
...holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
2 Timothy 1:21
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.
However, the main reason I know the Bible is true, is because it points us Jesus Christ. He was God in human flesh, sent from Heaven to give us hope. This is why I invite you to make the greatest discovery you could ever make, by investigating with an open heart and mind what the Bible says about Jesus for yourself. Do not let doubt, or pride, or anything else keep you from putting your faith and trust in Him.
