Using the Bible
The Bible is a collection of 73 books
It is divided into two parts:
-OLD TESTAMENT (46 books)
-NEW TESTAMENT (27 books)
Old Testament - the story of GOD'S relationship with the people of Israel
New Testament - the story of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and of his followers
Because GOD inspired the human authors of the individual books of the Bible,
GOD is the author of the Bible
When we read the Bible, we are praying
The Word of GOD moves us to become more loving, truthful, forgiving, and
compassionate
It strengthens our faith, increases our understanding, and guides us in making
good decisions
