What is the main message of the Bible?

 

The Bible addresses many basic issues of life and death, of the present and the future.

 

I believe the main message of the Bible is the wonderful presentation of salvation (moksha).

 

The good news of salvation in Jesus Christ is the fundamental message of the Scripture.

 

Under this heading there are many basic truths:

 

• God created a majestic universe and crowned it by forming the first man and woman in sinless perfection.

 

• Adam and Eve succumbed to temptation from Satan, and fell into sin and shame. The consequences of sin are obvious, but people everywhere still love to rebel against God.

 

• Yet God did not abandon humanity on its course to destruction. He chose one people to demonstrate his special care and from them to provide a Savior for the whole world.

 

• God sent his own son Jesus Christ to bear the awesome consequences of sin. God does not just blithely disregard sin, but he poured out all the terror of eternal condemnation on his son in those terrible hours of suffering and death on the cross.

 

• In the resurrection of Jesus, God demonstrates his victory over sin and calls people everywhere to identify with this victory by faith in Jesus Christ.

 

• In living in this salvation, we know that life is not meaningless, but we live surrounded by God's love, and bound for eternity with him.

 

This I believe is God's Majestic Plan For His People And His Cosmic Kingdom.
