UNIVERSAL APPEAL OF THE BIBLE The Bible is the most translated and the most distributed book throughout the planet but least read and studied by people. It has a universal appeal in every culture to serious Bible students because it provides clear answer to life’s most perplexing questions. A. Where did I come from? God created us in His image. In the image of God . . . created he them. Genesis 1:27. We did not accidentally emerge as nondescript globs from some primeval slime. We are sons and daughters of God, the Mighty King (Galatians 3:26). We are so precious to God that when Adam and Eve sinned, He gave His Son to die and pay the penalty for our sins so we could be free. He wants to restore us to His image and then, shortly, take us back to Eden, the home Adam and Eve lost. B. Why am I here? Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.. Our aims for life today should be to discover the Bibles wonderful answers to lifes puzzling problems and to accept Jesus offer to restore us to His image. Romans 8:29 “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.” C. What does the future hold for me? There is no guesswork about the future. Jesus will come very soon to take His people to the fabulous home He has prepared for them in heaven. There, with supreme joy and happiness, people will live forever. John 14:1-3 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. Revelation 21:3, 4. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2And I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever Learn More: https://youtube/watch?v=hq3M5-ExgZI
