The Bible
The Bible is a book written by a loving God to a sinful humanity. It is the only book that reveals the truth about the past, present, and future. From the beginning, God has revealed Himself through creation. Psalm 19:1 declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
Similarly, in Romans 1:19-20, the apostle Paul affirms that what God wanted to make known has been clearly seen in creation.
This type of revelation confirms God’s existence and helps us understand His thoughts, His plans, and the promises He has for each of us. Furthermore, the book of Hebrews tells us that God has spoken in various ways throughout history, and in these last days, He has spoken through His Son, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:1-3).
The Bible invites us to receive the blessing of reading it (Revelation 1:3; Joshua 1:8), as it contains God's will for mankind. We are to read it attentively, not just as forgetful hearers (James 1:25), but by keeping and practicing its teachings, so that we may remain in the truth and be truly free (John 8:31-32). In doing so, we build our lives on the solid rock, which is Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:24-27), and can say with the psalmist: “Oh, how I love Your law!” (Psalm 119:97).
The word Bible” comes from the Greek word biblion, which means “book” (Strong 975). The Bible is a collection of 66 books, written by over 40 different authors over approximately 1,600 years. Despite the time span and diversity of authors, the unity of its message proves divine inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16).
Structure of the Bible
1. Old Testament
Consists of 39 books written in Hebrew (and some parts in Aramaic) by about 32 authors from various backgrounds. Though not arranged chronologically, they are grouped by content and theme.
The Hebrew canon includes 22 books, which contain the same material in a different order. The New Testament often refers to “the Law and the Prophets,” pointing to these writings.
The Pentateuch (Torah)
- Genesis: The book of beginnings. It covers creation, the fall, the flood, and the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- Exodus: The story of Israel’s captivity, deliverance from Egypt, the giving of the Law, and tabernacle instructions.
- Leviticus: Describes priestly duties and how a sinful people can live in fellowship with a holy God.
- Numbers: Named after the censuses of Israel. Chronicles their journey and struggles in the wilderness.
- Deuteronomy: A review of the Law and Moses’ final exhortations before entering the Promised Land.
Historical Books
From Joshua to Esther. These twelve books recount nearly 1,100 years of Israel’s history, showing the results of obedience and disobedience to God.
Poetical or Wisdom Books
Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. These books are written in poetic style and teach timeless truths using literary devices such as Hebrew parallelism.
Major Prophets
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel. Called “major” due to the length of their writings. Their prophecies speak of judgment, repentance, and restoration.
Minor Prophets
The twelve books from Hosea to Malachi. Though shorter in length, their messages were delivered at crucial moments in Israel’s history and remain powerful today.
