CONCEPT OF THE BIBLE

Bible is a book sacred to Christians, which they consider to be the inspired word of God. It is a compilation of 66 books and letters written by more than 40 authors during a period of approximately 1,500 years. The Bible itself claims to be the inspired word of god. It unfolds as a divine love story between the creator god and the object of his love — man. The central theme of the Bible is God’s plan of salvation and his way of providing deliverance from sin and spiritual death through repentance and faith. It includes the Old Testament which contains the sacred books of the Jews, and the New Testament which begins with the birth of Jesus.

The concept of the word of God is a major Old Testament theme. It was written for the most part in Hebrew, with a small percentage in Aramaic. It points out the absolute uniqueness of Israel’s religion on the basis of personal contact with Yahweh the transcendent, sovereign creator of God. In the Old Testament , the concept of salvation is rooted in Israel’s deliverance from Egypt in the book of Exodus.

The New Testament reiterates the Old Testament depiction of the word of God as the divine means of creating and sustaining all things as divine revelation and as prophetic speech. It was written in Koine Greek. The New Testament reveals the source of salvation: Jesus Christ. By faith in Jesus, believers are saved from God’s judgment of sin and its consequence which is eternal death.
