What is the Bible?
Answer
The Bible is a collection of 66 books written over centuries, which Christians believe is God's inspired word. It tells one unfolding story, from creation to new creation, centered on Jesus. It is meant not just to be studied but to be lived, a lamp for the path.
“2 Timothy 3:16” the Bible points here. Read more Scripture.
A prayer was here before you
You sit with the pages, each one a breath of life. Stories of struggle and hope spill out like warm soup from a pot. You are not the first to ask. You are not alone. There is a quiet strength waiting, a light to guide you. Amen.
Someone in the family wrote this for whoever would one day read these words. You were thought of before you got here. If you want, a real person will pray with you, by name, at no cost and with no account. Ask them to pray with you.
Take the next step
You do not have to sort this out alone. On The Living Bread you can ask the family to pray with you, ask Simon anything about faith, read the Word, and find a church near you.
