My Journey to Life, Step 1—Scripture

1. Where did the Bible come from?

The word Bible simply means “book.” The Bible contains 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament, written by 44 authors over a 1500-year period. Archeology, including the discoveries of the Moabite Stone, the Lachish Letters, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Cyrus’ Cylinder, and the Rosetta Stone, all confirm its authenticity. Most importantly, the Bible contains direct messages from God’s heart to us! JTL1 1.6
