Topic > The Holy Bible and Jesus Christ - 901

The Holy Bible is a set of scriptures given to us by our Father Jesus Christ. The Bible is the most important book in history as these Scriptures provide knowledge, correction and guidance so that the man of God is well equipped for every good work. The Bible can be found in different versions and translations that suit very different audiences. This incredible collection of religious writings begins with the Old Testament followed by the Prophets and ends with a series of writings. The first five books of the Bible better known as the Old Testament best describe the history of Israel from the creation of the world to the death of Moses. The Old Testament describes a special relationship between God and his chosen people and there is a strong emphasis on the laws that are to be followed and obeyed by all of God's children. The Old Testament also speaks of the Babylonian exile which is the disaster that God created to destroy every creation on earth caused by the loss of faith of his people. In these first five books we can appreciate the scriptures of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. In Exodus we have a very detailed explanation of the leadership of King Moses. Moses was a very powerful leader of the Jews who was born in Egypt but later led the Jewish people out of Egypt. Moses was born in a very difficult time when the Paraoah of Egypt ordered that all male children should be drowned at birth. This order was given because the Paraoah feared that these males might become too powerful in the future. The birth of Moses is the beginning of an incredible story that is told to us by the scriptures of Exodus. At the time of Moses' birth he had to be hidden for a period of three...... middle of paper...... he was really close to the promised land but was not allowed to enter it. Moses is my favorite character in the Bible because he has been used many times by God and is a great guide and witness from God to all of us. In Exodus we are taught how powerful God is and how important it is to follow every law of God. This story makes us understand how important it is to always worship God and never take credit away from Him, because everything we do we do in the name of God. While Moses was faithful to God for 99 percent of his life, it only took one sin to prevent him from entering the promised land. We should make sure we understand that God chooses the weakest people to perform miracles through them. The story of Moses provides us with enough faith and courage to follow God's law every day and to understand that if we sin we should always repent and ask God for forgiveness..
