The Old Story
Paul Tripp blogs on the Bible as a theologically annotated story, which helps make sense of the story of our lives:
Your Bible is not a collection of religious stories. No, it is one story, the grand story of redemption. The Bible has one central character; God himself, specifically in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. From cover to cover the Bible is a narrative of the wondrous works of a God. Perhaps the four most important words in all of Scripture are the first four words; “In the beginning God…” You simply cannot understand yourself, your world, and the meaning and purpose of life unless you view them from the vantage point of the existence, character, and plan of God.
Tripp then explains five things that this story gives us. Read the whole post.
