What is the most important & main message in the Bible?

[Vine Abider]

We hear all kinds of things about what God's main message is to us, and I often think that message gets greatly diffused by a lot of sidebar stuff.  (kind of like asking the proverbial blind men what the purpose of the elephant is)

What do you believe is the main message God is conveying to us in the Bible?

[Orion]

The main and most important message God is giving us in His word is that He has a plan to redeem us, and for us that trust Him and His plan, and live our lives glorifying Him, we will enjoy Him forever.

Deu 30

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

The revealing of Jesus Christ.

[lrs68]

The Good News that Yeshua preached.

 

Once you understand that then applying the Letters of Paul to the Law and Prophets is necessary to understand a complete viewpoint of who Yeshua was and is.

 

We can't forget the Apostle John in John and Revelation to get a broader view of who Yeshua is in Heaven and who He became currently in Heaven.

 

But being able to connect the Tree of Life, the Ark, the LAW, Ark of the Covenant, items in the AotC, the Christophany examples, the understanding of God's Right Hand, the Branch, and so much to Yeshua is vital to any believer.

 

But if someone can only know 1 thing it should be the Gospel or Good News that Yeshua preached.

No more death. No more judgment. For the believers in Jesus Christ only eternal life with Jesus and the Heavenly Father.

This sort of thing has come up in conversations I've had about the accuracy of the Bible. I've told people that whatever translation issues and missing or debated cultural contexts are in play that there's a clear core narrative in the Bible where God created humanity, humanity messed it up, and God wanted reconciliation strongly enough to send Jesus to die in our place. Regardless of any issues in translation that message is very much intact.

Man sinned. God can forgive. "Believe in your heart-profess with your mouth"

                              Jesus SAVES!

       The most important truth we could ever share.

Through Christ and his reurrection from the dead we have received the promise of an eternal inheritance for us in the world to come

Great topic VA,

Notice all the US focus. Your topic did not have that but your first comment did. I go with Marathoner who said Jesus. Jesus is the message of God`s word, His character and His purposes.

Salvation is but the means for different groups to receive their inheritance promised.

The Body of Christ - ruling with Jesus from His throne (authority) in the third heaven. (Rev. 3: 21)

The OT Saints - the city. (Heb. 11: 16)

The nations on the earth - Rev. 21: 24)

 

`God the Father .....having made known to us the mystery of His Will according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times he might gather together in one (in unity) all things in CHRIST - both of which are in heaven and which are on earth - in HIM.` (Eph. 1: 9 & 10)
