The Bible: God’s Love Letter.God wants a relationship with each of us, which requires that we know Him. In the Scriptures, we find the records of His spoken words, His interventions in history, and His coming to earth in the person of Jesus Christ. From this Book, we derive our knowledge of the Father.
The Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him. For this reason, He used men from all walks of life to record His gospel message.
