Bible’s purpose is to show the way to salvation

By Lethbridge Herald on December 24, 2021.

The letter from Edna Mackenzie in the Dec. 15 paper does not seem to convince the people who wrote comments about her letter to believe the Bible, or even that there is a God. I have read many times “there are so many gods.”

No there is only one God, the Lord God. I’ve also read there are so many Bible translations. 

Well, it means all the same, only written at different times by different people. 

The main purpose of the Bible is to show people the way of salvation to everlasting life by believing and accepting the Son of God Jesus Christ, for there is no other way. 

It is also He who has created everything that is created, nothing is created that He did not create.

And if beautiful nature is not convincing – the amazing insects, so fast and so powerful for their size. 

If people could make flying machines that could take off and land like an insect or a bird, you would really have to fasten your seatbelts.

 And ever noticed that every creature is perfect, no improvements necessary, no older or fancier newer models like by man-made things? Everything was perfect from creation.

God used many different people from different walks of life to write His Bible, and stories line up for us to compare different Bible books in the old and new testaments so that we can see that His word is true and help us to trust and believe in Him.

Who is going to Heaven or who go to Hell? Well, Hell is full of sinners, but so is Heaven also – the difference is to trust in Jesus.

In these last times before Jesus comes back, some people are mocking, saying “When is He coming back?” Well Jesus said when nobody expects it – like a thief in the night, first the Gospel good news has to be preached around the whole world to everybody.
