Hi Blogger Insiders,
The Holy Bible is God's Holy Word. It is the best seller of all time. As well it should be. The Holy Bible is perfect. It is the inspired word of God. That is to say, the Holy Bible was written by men inspired by God.
The Holy Bible is the salvation history of the world. From the book of Genesis to the book of the Apocalypse, the salvation history of mankind unfolds. After the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis, a Redeemer (the Messiah) is promised. Abraham believed in the Messiah and he even longed to see His day, as is recorded in the Gospels. God made a Covenant with Abraham. This is known as the Old Covenant. The Hebrew priests would have to make animal sacrifices to God constantly in order to make due reparation for sins. This continued for millennia while the Hebrews waited (patiently) for the promised Messiah. Christ Jesus, the Son of God, is the Messiah. He arrived on the scene 2000 years ago. He established a New Covenant in His own Blood. The New Covenant, so to speak, is the unbroken continuation of the Old Covenant. Now Jesus is to be the Sacrifice offered to God the Father for the remission of sins. Animal sacrifices were no longer sufficient to atone for sins. The veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two the moment Christ died. Soon after, in 70 AD, the Jewish Temple was completely destroyed ending Jewish animal sacrifice.
The Holy Bible relates how faithful Jews carry on the Covenant now established anew in the Blood of Christ. This is the Holy Mass of the Holy Catholic Church. It is the Holy Catholic Church that has the Sacrifice. The Holy Catholic Church was founded by Christ Jesus Himself in order to re-present the Holy Sacrifice on Calvary, to bring the good news of salvation to all the world, and to baptize the people in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The supreme law of the Church is the salvation of souls.
God is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. The Holy Bible relates how God declares the end from the beginning. It is true. God has given us His Holy Bible that maps out in detail, from the beginning to the end, the salvation history of man.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,
