The Bible has shaped the foundation of Nations. It’s 1,189 chapters or 773,693 words have been translated into over 1,200 languages, touching the lives of billions of people around the world.
2 Timothy 3:16 says, ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness’ (NIV).
The Bible is the big book, there is no replacement for it. Centuries after it was put together it still has relevant life changing advice and direction for us all. If we allowed our lives to be reflected back to us from the mirror of the Bible, what person would we really see?
