The Bible is organized the way it is deliberately. It reflects the way God slowly and methodically revealed his will to mankind. It is an historical document partly chronological with thematic, episodic, poetic, proverbial, prophetic, and mandates interspersed. The Bible consistently portrays people as God's children and though fully mature in every human aspect the implication is that man could not immediately understand or at least appreciate sin's catastrophic effects or the magnitude of God's grace and power to save. No doubt man needed time to grasp redemption, otherwise God would have sent Christ into the world immediately after sin entered it and we could carry on as if nothing ever happened. Since this is not the case we are compelled to study the Bible to learn its significance, and it does take more than a casual read to understand it. Why would God require his book, which has the instructions to save the ones he loves so dearly, to be harder than a newspaper or children's' storybook to comprehend? Because he gave us a brain smart enough to grasp it and he expects us to use it! Hebrews 11:6 says every person has the responsibility to seek God. God is not impressed with intellect, or any other human attribute. He knows what he created. He wants our hearts, that is, our desire to be consumed with the thought of him. The greatest glory and honor that we can personally attain is to do things properly and only he knows how things are properly done. The Bible is his instruction book for proper living. With every accomplishment we make, whether spiritual or secular, we illustrate that his will is perfect and duplicatable. Our purpose is to glory him and live so as to be with him in eternity glorifying him forever. He one who truly loves us. (Isaiah 43:7, 1 Corinthians 6:20; Romans 15:6; Revelation 4:11)
