How much do you know about the Bible? Don’t be embarrassed if you confess that you don’t even know the basic Bible stories; many people share your sentiment. A few years ago I became aware that even college students in Bible school have not been taught a rudimentary knowledge of the Scripture. It will be our goal through several lessons this year to acquaint you with many of the Bible Stories as we begin this series: UP with the BIBLE! Are you down with it?
There are wonderful practical applications we can learn through the ancient stories of the Biblical Text. That is part of the beauty of Bible study! The Word comes alive and we find relevance to our life situations in the application of Scripture.
When we study God’s Word we can expect to see new insights and gain greater understanding of the ways God works. The story of redemption begins in the first pages of the text and continues through God’s unfolding plan of salvation.
You have a purpose. You are special to God and He wants you to know Him. That’s why He has given us His Word. It is God’s message to all people. Let’s lift up the Bible and know its author. May the Sprit bring revelation and understanding as we embark on this journey together.
