Is the Bible about you or Jesus?

[The Unforgettable Fire]

Is it primarily about what you can do, should do, must do, etc. or is it primarily about Jesus?

 

[Steeno7]

"you do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have life." (John 5:38-40)

 

[REPHAIAHPEDAHEL]

It is all about Jesus!

 

[ByTheSpirit]

It is about Jesus for us...

Hi,
Colossians 1:19 states that it pleases the Father that in Christ all the fullness dwells. He is the all and all. God will share almost anything with us, but his glory. Jesus shines gloriously no matter what way you turn him.

Grace to you.

We don't read the Bible to qualify ourselves for God's blessings. We read the Bible to find out about our blessings and inheritance in Christ.

It's about Jesus and Jesus is about love . all else is idolatry .

I love doctrine.

 

[Matjohluk]

It's all about our Lord Jesus Christ, our Yeshua HaMashiach, our Messiah, our Saviour, our Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

Shucks fellow the NT is all about the "THE WAY", don't you get it? All HE wants you to do is follow "THE WAY" by using HIS Scriptures to fulfil HIS COMMISSION and HIS COMMANDMENTS! Don't you get it?

Blessings.

I think the children of God are *part* of the scriptures in a Living way. Living examples of what is testified about in the scriptures. Each child of God may as well have a "Book of (insert name here)."

I believe the scriptures testify about Christ and, ultimately, what God is doing throughout history.

It's like reading about family members. Every day of their lives were inspired, and so reading about what they did is reading your family heritage. All part of a story unfolding, pointing to something, telling something, revealing something.

If you lived to be 90 years old, and walked with God for those 90 years ... yet had never read a single scripture or even knew they existed for that matter ... and you suddenly had the scriptures introduced to you ... you should be able to see how your life parallels that of other faithful individuals: Moses, David, Abraham, Jesus, etc. Your own life would have told a similar story (even though it may have played out wildly differently lol), with the same inspiration.

It is God speaking to man.

From God's POV it is all for mankind

From Mankind's POV it is all about God.

The Bible is a physical means of informing physical beings about their Creator, Who is a Spirit, their state of being and the remedy for it.
