Bible Verses About Hope

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

The Bible is regarded as a holy book by Christians. For several thousand years, many Christians believe that belief in the Lord must be based on the Bible, and that departing from the Bible means not believing in the Lord. Is this view in line with God’s will? Does the Bible contain life? Is all of God’s work recorded in the Bible? If all of God’s word and work were recorded in the Bible, we would receive life by believing in the Bible, then why did the Lord Jesus say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me” (Jhn 14:6)? Hope the verses about the inside story of the Bible selected below will help you understand the relationship between the Bible and God’s work.
