The Bible is a special book that talks about God’s love for people and how He wants to help and save them. It is made up of two main parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament tells stories about how God created the world and chose a group of people called the Israelites to be His own. It has lots of adventures, heroes, and prophets who told about what would happen in the future.
The New Testament starts with the story of Jesus, who is God’s Son. It tells about His life, teachings, and how He died but came back to life. This part of the Bible shows how Jesus came to save everyone, not just the Israelites. It also has letters to churches explaining how to follow Jesus, and a big vision at the end about heaven and God’s final plans for the world.
Here are some important verses from the Bible that show what it’s all about:
Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This tells us that God made everything.
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” This is about how much God loves us and what Jesus did for us.
Revelation 21:4 – “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” This talks about the wonderful future God has planned for those who love Him.
Here are three main things to remember from the Bible:
- God loves us: The Bible shows how much God cares for us, from creating a beautiful world for us to live in, to sending Jesus to save us.
- We can be friends with God: Because of what Jesus did, anyone can become close to God if they choose to. We can talk to Him anytime through prayer.
- God has good plans for us: The Bible ends with a promise that one day, God will make everything perfect again for those who love Him.
These ideas can help us feel safe and loved, and teach us how to be kind and good to others.
