The Book of God

(2 Tim. 3:16)
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right

The Bible is not a collection of fairy tales, myths, or merely human ideas about God. The Bible is not a human book.Through the Holy Spirit, God reveals Himself personally and His plan for believers (2Pet. 1:20, 21). This process is referred to as inspiration. Approximately 40 people from the authors note their personal experiences based on the  historical context. Even if they use their thinking, their talents, their language and their style, they still write what God wants. The Bible can be trusted because God still controls the writing.The Bible consists of 2 parts, namely the Old Testament book consisting of 39 book and the New Testament book consisting of  27 books.
 
The Bible is God's Book. Because the Bible is inspired by God and can be trusted, we should read and apply it in our lives.The Bible is the standard to judge for everything to judge whether that is said is true.The Bible protects us from all heresy and for guiding us to live. This is the only source of knowledge about how we are saved. Make plans to read the entire Bible, not just the one we  know.
