The Old Testament is the Account of a Nation

The Old Testament is the account of a nation, the Hebrew.  The New Testament is the account of a Man, the Son of Man. God foun and nurtured that nation to bring that man into the world. (Genesis 12:1-3.) God himself became a man, so that we might know what to think when we think of God. (John 1:14; 14:9.) His appearance on the earth is the central event of all history. The Old Testament sets the stage for this. The New Testament describes it.

Christ Lived a Perfect Life

Christ lived a perfect life. He was kind, tender, gentle, patient, and sympathetic. He loved people. He worked miracles to feed the hungry. Weary, pain-ridden, and heartsick came to Him, and He gave them rest. (Mt. 11:28-30.) We are told that if all of the deeds of kindness that He did were written, the world could not contain the books. (John 22:25)

Jesus Died to Take Away the Sin of the World

Jesus died to take away the sin of the world. Jesus is the Savior of men. He rose from the dead and is alive today. Jesus is not merely a historical character, but a living Person–the most important fact of history. Jesus Christ is the most vital force in the world today. He promises eternal life to all who come to Him.

The Bible Was Written That We Might Believe

The whole Bible is built around the story of Christ and His promise of everlasting life to men. It was written that we might believe and understand, know and love, and follow Him.

The Bible-God’s Written Word.

Apart from any theory of inspiration,or any theory of how the Bible books came to their present form, or how much the text may have suffered in passing through the hands of editors and copyists. Accept the Bible books as we have them in the Bible as units. Study to know them in their contexts. You will find that there is a unity of thought which indicates that One Mind inspired the writing of the Book, the whole series of Books. The Bible bears on its face the stamp of its Author; it is in every sense the Word of God.
