While the Bible consists of 66 different books with

more than 40 authors writing in the span of more than 1,500 years,

it promotes one primary message—the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether

reading the Old Testament or New, Jesus Christ is the central

figure toward which all others point. The gospel concerning His

perfect life, sacrificial death, glorious resurrection, and

imminent return forms the centerpiece for all of Scripture. So, as

we read of Abraham’s faith in God, we will discover anew why we

always have and always will need the gospel.
