What is called the Bible today is the compilation of various writings by prophets and apostles of old, who wrote as they were inspired by the Spirit of God. It’s also interesting to note that many of these writers actually lived in different generations. However, John lets us know in our opening scripture that their sacred writings have been put together for the sole purpose of revealing Jesus as the Christ, and so that every person may believe in Him and receive salvation.
Many other interesting accounts may have been written by the prophets and apostles, but which weren’t included in today’s Bible text. The reason is that God only wanted the Bible to point everyone to Jesus Christ. This is the aim of the Scriptures. It portrays how He was promised and depicted in various types and shadows until He was finally revealed. In John 14:6, Jesus Himself said, “...I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
It’s all about Jesus. The entire universe and everything God made revolve around Him. Therefore, be bold to tell people about Him. There’s nothing as important as leading others to Christ; soul-winning is God’s number one job.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the Bible; and I praise you, O Lord, for the great sacrifice you made in sending your Son Jesus to die for my sins. Through His resurrection, I have received the divine life, and I’m in fellowship with you now. I live for Jesus every single day of my life. My life is all for Him, and all about Him.
