The Purpose of the Bible

Who Was the Bible Written To?

Who Was The Bible Written For?

Some Implications: We are listening in to a conversation between God and his creation. Before you can know what a Bible passage means for you, you have to know what it meant to someone else.

Some More Implications We have to take the context of a Bible passage seriously if we are to understand it. The purpose of the Bible is not to give you wise words to guide your daily life!

We are living in a real world Creation We are living in a real world

Bad things happen to good people Fall Bad things happen to good people

God is involved in this world Incarnation God is involved in this world

God’s grace changes everything Redemption God’s grace changes everything

It will all work out in the end Future Hope It will all work out in the end

The Purpose of the Bible: Is to tell us the story of God’s Interaction with the world so we can find our place in it.
