What the Bible is Really About

  Some call themselves Christians but miss the point of the entire bible. The bible, through all of these stories and adventures, is ultimately centered around Christ. Yes, even the Old Testament. Yet, this fact is so missed. Because of Adam, our sins need to be forgiven indefinitely! So what happens now? Well then there was the law. If you want to know these laws, feel free to check out the books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus. These laws, although great, are in no way able to be kept perfectly all of the time. So that's where Jesus stepped in on the Earth. By grace we have been saved. By believing in Him and calling on His name, salvation has been granted to those who choose to believe. Therefore, He is now the means of coming to God, not the law. You see, the purpose of the Gospel is to get us with God, our sin separated us from Him, and Jesus came to bring us back. He fills the void that our sin created! And all that we have to do is believe and call on Him. Christ died for our sins, rose after three days, and ascended to Heaven, so now we may come to God without blemish. That's what Jesus did! That is the Greatest Love! That's the Gospel. That's what the Bible is about!                         Anthony Jones
