God's Word to the Wise

The Bible is fundamentally a narrative about God’s redemptive work through Jesus Christ, not a self-help book focused on human improvement or experience. It highlights Jesus as the ultimate hero, prophet, priest, and king, shifting the focus from “I/me/we” to “He.” The subject of Scripture is…

• A Story of Divine Actions: The Bible is about the deeds of God and His rescue mission, not a collection of stories centered on human, {“heroics”}.
• Correcting Self-Centricity: It challenges the human tendency to make life about ourselves, directing focus to God’s grace and love instead.
• The Focus on Jesus (He): The core of the Bible is Jesus Christ, often referred to in the context of the “I AM” (He), emphasizing His role as the central figure of salvation.
• Shift from Performance to Surrender: Instead of relying on personal strength, the message calls for surrendering to God’s work in one’s life.
