What is the Bible?

• A. The inspired Word of God and His revelation to all people
• B. A collection of myths
• C. A book of laws only
• D. A historical record of only Israel

Answer: (A)

At its heart, the Bible is the inspired Word of God and His revelation to all people. God spoke through human authors, guiding their thoughts and writings so that what is recorded communicates His truth about who He is, what He has done, and what He invites people to believe and live out. It isn’t only a book of laws or a collection of myths; it includes history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, gospel accounts, and letters, all pointing to God’s plan of salvation through Jesus. While it includes writings about Israel, its message extends to every nation and people. Because it comes from God, it carries authority for faith and daily living, making it the source believers turn to for knowing God and His will.
