The Bible's Big-Picture Story

DAY 1 OF 9

ABOUT THE BIBLE: Setting the scene.


This incredible, life-giving, Bible is one of the key places we encounter God. 


Paul, an author of the Bible, writes to his friend Timothy, teaching him that the Bible shows us the way to Jesus—who brings us life and restores our relationship with God. Paul teaches that the Bible is from God and is helpful to us in so many ways. It shows the truth, drawing us to God when we have turned our back on Him, helping us make healthy life-giving choices, correcting our mistakes and training us to live God’s way. Wonderfully it brings wholeness and wellbeing. 


The word ‘Bible’ is related to the Greek word meaning ‘book’ or ‘library’ and the word ‘Holy’ means called out. This incredible collection of books was inspired by God. The Bible was written by people like you, about people like you. People who share the same highs and lows, the same hopes and dreams. Religious people, doubters, rulers, prisoners, fisherman, career people, slaves, young, old, men, women. More than 50 writers across 1500 years, using visual storytelling, narrative, instruction, poetry, and drama all to tell one story. 


The story is as relevant today as it has always been. It’s not a dry or dated book about someone else; it’s a living story about your creator God and you, inspired by our God of love and His heart for relationship with us. The more you know God’s story, the more you know your story. The more you know God, His character and His ways, the more you know yourself! 


Your past does not define you but is redeemed and woven into God’s love story, beautifully, intricately and intimately, inviting us out of isolation!


One of the aims in creating The Infographic Bible was to visualise God’s Word and tell people the big-picture story of the Bible, showing it is one connected story from beginning to end. 


No matter where you are in your journey with God, study, analyse, interact with, create and meditate on Him, through His life-giving Word. It’s a free gift extended to every single person … simply enjoy!


An invitation to interact with God and His life-giving Word:


You may want to go back to those Bible verses for today or ponder others that have special meaning to you giving thanks for His word.  Ask Him to prepare and ready your heart for His big-picture story, highlighting how it is part of your story today.


Part of your interaction may look like visualising it with words, images, poetry, song, movement or quiet meditation… it’s all worship which brings us into a place of deeper intimacy with God and where we hear His heart for us more clearly. Enjoy!
