1.1 What is the Bible?
ANSWER: There is no other book in the
world like the Bible, because:

about God, the Lord Jesus Christ and salvation.
See Hebrews 1:1-2; Psalm 138:2; 2 Timothy 3:16;
Psalm 119:160
(b) It has been written by men who were guided
by the Holy Spirit of God.
See 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Peter 1:11; Hebrews 1:1-2
(c) It promises eternal life to all who believe
and obey its teaching.
See John 17:3; Romans 2:7; 2 Peter 1:11.
1.2 How can we best understand the Bible's
message? ANSWER:
(a) To understand and believe its message, we
need to read the Bible regularly and with a
prayer for God's blessing.
See 1 Timothy 4:13; Psalm 119:103-105; Jeremiah
15:16; Jeremiah 9:24
(b) The Bible itself is its best interpreter.
Some parts of the Bible help us to understand
other parts.
