They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.
- Deuteronomy 32:47 (NIV)
The Bible – “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”.
There are people out there that do not like this mnemonic to explain the work of the Spirit from which we draw the truth of God.
The Bible isn’t very “basic”, its 66 books!
Scripture is complex and intricate, definitely not basic.
The Bible contains basic instructions, but not everything in the Bible is a simple starting point for faith.
The Old testament, that is where you get your history, poetry, prophecy, and an amount of directions, laws or guidance that was laid out under the Old Covenant.
It’s not a manual that you just read.
“Bible” comes from a Greek word that means “books”, and these books are woven into a beautiful and harmonious library.
We have a number of names we can call them, including the “Scriptures” (what is written), and the “Gospel” (the good news)!
They are not just idle words on the page, learning His word, living His word, this is how we should live!
