We can summarize the central message of the Bible around four essential ideas:
- The Creator is true and good.
- We are broken and need to be restored.
- The Creator came to us in the flesh to die in our place and to rise to begin new creation.
- If you trust the Lord about His good news, you will be saved into life with Him forever.
Those brief statements are what this sequence of documents are about. My purpose in writing this series is primarily to help you find life in the central message of the Bible. Whether that interests you or not, reading them should do you no harm. I certainly mean no harm by offering them. My secondary purpose was to reawaken joy in people who had let these ideas grow dusty and dim in their minds.
