B) "The Bible is God's love letter!"
C) "The Bible is the manual for life!"
or D)...the Bible is the history of a God who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Yep, there are commands in Scripture.
God tells us to do and not due certain things.
Yep, it speaks of his love for us when He left the throne and was humiliated on our behalf.
Yep, it says "this is how to live life until I come to claim you.
But above, and in, and through it all...
The Bible is the record of God's faithfulness.
I've been reading the First Book of Kings. It recalls the stories of a mighty prophet who ran away in fear all the time from people. Now, that may seem silly, but I find it comforting and in a good way.
If you read the bible according to A, B, or C, you will say;
"look how God uses imperfect people like us!
If you read the Bible like D you will say;
"look how Elijah is scared because he can't do it! See how God provides for him!"
Read the stories. It's about a God who feeds a man spiritually with his presence and physically with bread but more than that!
God reveals himself as above governments.
God reveals himself as above wicked men who plot ruin.
God reveals himself as commanding birds and streams.
God reveals himself as controlling the wind and the rain.
To Him be all honor and praise and glory!
