The Bible is our greatest teacher, "the Living and enduring Word of God" (I Peter 1:23b)

We don't know our beginnings without Genesis, and we can't understand the future without the book of Revelation. We learn how to worship in the Psalms and how to live honestly in a dishonest world in Proverbs. Job shows us how God will bear with us through suffering. Ruth shows us how to love. Song of Solomon tells us how to love our spouse and 1 John teaches us that we shouldn't love the world or the things in it.

Esther tells us God rules over the world even when He seems absent. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John we meet the greatest Person in history, and we learn He is living still and loving us despite our mistakes and missteps. Jonah reminds us we shouldn't run away from Him, and James tells us to draw near to Him. In fact, as we become better acquainted with our Bibles, we can find Jesus in every book. Think of one way the Bible has made a difference in your life.
