What is the Bible About? The Bible provides the basic history and future of the universe. It reveals the origin of the universe and mankind. It reveals how it all got spoiled by Adam and Eve. Though God punished Adam and Eve, He also promised a Savior to fix
the problem (Genesis 3:15). The Old Testament reveals the progression of the plan to redeem
mankind. The New Testament shows the fulfillment of the plan of redemption
(John 3:16) through the Cross.
Then there comes a set of instructions that explain how to live as Christians until the Second Coming and the creation of the new heavens and earth.
