Review - The Bible

I did an Amazon search for The Bible and there are 489,399 results. Wow.

The Bible is actually 66 books in one; 39 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books. It is a book about God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament tells the story of God's chosen people, the Jews called Israel, their covenant with God and their wait for the Messiah. The New Testament is about Jesus the Messiah, although the Jews don't believe he is The Messiah. I do.

The Bible is a love story.

It is a love story from God to us.

It contains stories of love, war, giants, temptation, trials, good vs. evil, compassion, and God's steadfast love for us. It answers many questions on faith and belief in God.  It will give you hope for the future and comfort for today.

I suggest if you don't own one to buy one and if you do own one to open it and begin reading it today.
You will not be disappointed.

Hebrews 10:16
"This is the covenant I will make with them after that time", says the Lord. "I will put my laws in their hearts and I will write them on their minds."

Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Gratitude
!. God's word
2. God's mercy
3. God's love

Phil 1:4
In all my prayers for all of you,
I always pray with joy.

Blessings,
Deborah
