THE BIBLE IS ABOUT YOU

“So you see, our love for [God] comes as a result of His loving us first.”  (1 John 4:19 TLB)

The Bible is about you.  You can learn a tremendous amount about who you are, where you fit into the great plan, and how God wants you to lead your life.  In a sense, you were there as a slave in Egypt, and God rescued you (the book of Exodus).  You were there among the people who acted as though God was not their King and committed terrible atrocities because "everyone did as he saw fit" (Judges 21:25).  You were there at the Cross mocking Jesus, and you were there weeping and embracing Him when He rose from the grave.  In a sense, the whole story is about a loving God pursuing you.
