What is the central idea of the Bible?
score:13
Accepted answer
Jesus is the central "idea" of the Bible:
- The old Testament begins with the fall of man and the prophecy of the Redeemer (Jesus)
- The Jewish religion was constantly looking forward to the Messiah (Jesus)
- The New Testament records Jesus' life and public ministry
- The Epistles both explain the doctrine of Jesus as well as re-establish the proofs that the old testament prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus (esp. St. Paul's letter to the Hebrews)
- Revelations/Apocalypse looks forward to the second coming of Jesus

I was reading for a class and came across the folowing:
Augustine proposes that when Christ is viewed has the center of the Bible and love is our supreme good, we understand the Scripture in all their light.

The central thought of the Bible is Christ and the church.
The Old Testament reveals Christ and the New Testament reveals the church as the counter part of Christ (Ephesians 5:32). We cannot simply remain in just knowing Jesus Christ. Our issue of knowing Him must be the edifying, the building up, of the church, which is His body (As revealed in Colossians 1:18). This is God's purpose and desire.
So how can we build up the church? 1 Corinthians 14:26 :)
Much grace, fellow believers in Christ.
