Introduction

The English word Bible comes from the Greek word “biblia” which means books. Therefore, the Holy Bible is the collection of books, (39 O.T. & 27 N.T.) revealing in God’s Words how sinful man can be reconciled to God through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus – John 3:16-17.
For this reason it is important to know the indispensible value of God’s written law for men and women because it will determine where you and I will spend eternity, since it will judge us in the last day (John 12:48).
Let us examine further why the Bible is important.
