The Bible: God’s Letter to Humankind
From: The Creator (ALL MIGHTY GOD)
To: The created (Humankind aka People)

- 2 Purpose of God’s Letter to Humankind: To establish a relationship with His creation
- 3 In working through these people, The people before His incarnation (Old Testament) and after His incarnation (New Testament), God has made many things clear to all people in any point of history:
- 4 Here is a simple overview
History[edit]
For approximately a 1,500 year period God worked through over 30 different authors from all walks of life to present His Letter to us, known to us today as The Bible. This Letter comes in various forms of writing such as; historical narratives, poems, epistles and more. The Letter ends through the Apostle John in The book of Revelation (approximately 95 AD). While God inspired scripture ended with the book of Revelation, God has been continually working through the hearts of humankind for the last 2000 years to make His story accessible in over 2,000 languages and even provided us with helpful methods to keep His Word in remembrance by chapter and verse. God has also worked through Holy Spirit lead councils to bring forth the exact revelation of God’s self in 66 Books: Genesis through Revelation, nothing more nothing less. God has assured us we can trust in The Bible and warns us of how dangerous it is to stray elsewhere for His inspired Revelation. It’s ALL here!
Purpose of God’s Letter to Humankind: To establish a relationship with His creation[edit]
God begins this Letter by giving humankind a brief account of creation, but shortly focuses on the main issue: Humankind’s (the created’s) relationship with The One True Almighty God (The Creator). However there is an obstacle in establishing this relationship. The obstacle is Satan who is trying to prevent that relationship from happening but God from the beginning had a plan to defeat this obstacle and render him un-effective. God sets forth in choosing a certain people in which He would use as an instrument to bring all His people to Himself in Spirit and Truth. It was through these instrumental people that God would come as a human being (Jesus Christ) and walk among His creation as both God and man.
In working through these people, The people before His incarnation (Old Testament) and after His incarnation (New Testament), God has made many things clear to all people in any point of history:[edit]
All humankind has gone astray and is in need of a Savior
- That despite how "good" of a person one may feel he or her is, they (like every other human being) have gone astray and have followed the ways of Satan and are deserving of God’s wrath and His punishment. God makes this clear for a very important purpose: To pave the way for The Savior.
- God knows that only when humankind recognizes their condition (being dead in sin) can they truly repent and abide in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and become born again of The Holy Spirit.
- Only when God, The Holy Spirit is working through a person can they please God on earth. ALL Glory belongs to God and no glory belongs to humankind
One Savior and One Way
- That there is only One Savior. One way to restore humankind’s relationship with God: Repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- That while He is an all loving God, He also is a just God and therefore sin cannot go unpunished. There has to be a payment. And the only payment accepted is the shed Blood of Jesus Christ through His finished work on the cross.
Satan’s Purpose
- That Satan has a plan. He has come to steal, kill and destroy. By blinding people into not abiding in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Satan steals their eternal life, kills their eternal soul, and destroys God’s Plan for their salvation.
- Anything Satan can do to blind one into not abiding in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (In His Full Deity) Satan will do.
- One of Satan’s best tools is actually religion. Satan has blinded many sincere followers of various religions into perverting the Deity of Jesus Christ to just being a mere prophet, or only “a god” or just an arch angel. However God makes it clear that this is blasphemy of The Holy Spirit Who comes to testify to Jesus as Lord, Savior and Deity.
A Spiritual War
- That there are two driving forces beyond our human senses of touch, taste, sound, sight, and smell. There is a spiritual realm in where The Holy Spirit of God Who testifies to The Lord Jesus Christ, is battling with the spirits of the prince of the world (Satan). That indeed, every person is either following God, or they are following Satan and for any human being to say; “I’m my own person” is foolishness.
The Sheep and The Goats
- Also in God’s Letter to us He makes it very clear that despite humankind’s efforts to classify themselves in various categories such as: Financial status, race, talents, nationality, age, popularity, religious beliefs, etc, etc, there in fact are only two categories in the sight of God:
Category 1: Those who have taken up their cross, Abided in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in sincere repentance and have been born again of The Holy Spirit of Truth Who guides them on earth and testifies to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Category 2: Those who follow the gods of this world (Satan), who will have to account for their own sins including the unforgivable sin of blaspheming The Holy Spirit in rejecting The Author of Life Jesus Christ.
Here is a simple overview[edit]
Sometimes it’s helpful to take a theological step back and look at the Bible from 3 main areas:
- God’s relationship with humankind.
- Satan’s attempt to destroy that relationship (sin leading to death).
- God defeating sin and death in Jesus Christ.
And in the same manner Jesus Christ died and then rose from the dead, His followers too will rise on the day of His Glorious Return and be with Him, God (our Creator) forever (a relationship restored)
Come Lord Jesus, Come…
