Time again for our Kids’ Question of the Week blog series, brought to you by children’s author Kathryn Slattery and her new book If I Could Ask God Anything. Come back each week for more resources to help answer your children’s faith & God questions!
This week, we are starting a brand new series for September: All about THE BIBLE! Stay tuned for the next five weeks to get all your Bible questions answered!
The Bible is the most important book in the world. Why?
Because the Bible is the true, inspired Holy Word of God.
The apostle Paul described the Bible as “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16). God breathed through the human beings who wrote the Bible. This is what makes the Bible different form all other books.
Did you know that when you pick up a Bible, you are holding more than one book? You are actually holding a whole library! This is because the Bible contains sixty-six books, written by forty different people, over a period of about two thousand years
.
In the Bible you will discover an amazing collection of real, true-life stories about kings and queens and angels and giants. You will read real, true-life stories of adventure and love, plus poetry, songs, prayers, and letters – even predictions about the future! Best of all, you will read the real, true-life story of Jesus, whom God sent to earth to save the world. Talk about exciting!
Remember, the Bible is not a dry, boring book. It is the living Word of God! When you read the Bible, you get to know God better. This is because God is able to actually speak to you through the Bible. Isn’t that amazing?
The Bible also answers the really big questions about life on earth…
Who am I?
Why am I here?
What will happen to me when I die?
The Bible is God’s special love letter to you.
