The Beginning...and the End
The Bible, though written by many authors over thousands of years, tells one unified story—the story of God's love for humanity and His plan to redeem us.
The Beginning: Creation
In the beginning, God created a perfect world and placed humanity in it to enjoy relationship with Him.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
— Genesis 1:1 (NIV)
The Fall: Sin Enters the World
Through human disobedience, sin entered the world, breaking our relationship with God and bringing death and suffering.
The Promise: A Savior is Coming
Throughout the Old Testament, God promised to send a Savior who would restore what was broken.
The Fulfillment: Jesus Christ
In Jesus, all of God's promises find their fulfillment. Through His life, death, and resurrection, the way back to God is opened.
"For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things."
— Colossians 1:19-20 (NIV)
The End: All Things Made New
The Bible ends with the promise of a new heaven and new earth, where God will dwell with His people forever and all things will be made right.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
— Revelation 21:4 (NIV)
