A Love Letter for Life (Audio)

Everything we know about God as Father, Rescuer, and Counsellor, we learn from the Bible. Well, to be accurate, we learn it from Holy Spirit God through the Bible.
The Bible teaches, inspires, equips, and informs. But its central message is your heavenly Father saying to you, “I love you. You matter to me. Isn’t it neat we can communicate even when we’re not face to face?”
The Bible is the tool the Holy Spirit uses to reveal to us the centrality of Jesus, who brings the love of the Father to us. You can use the Bible for many things, and that’s not necessarily wrong, but primarily it’s a love letter. When we don’t see it that way, we end up being led down rabbit holes.
When we do receive it as a love letter, we hold it dear to the very core of our being, for not only does it show us the identity of our God as a loving Father, but it also shows us our truest identity in him.
God’s word, the love letter? Yes! Get into it any way you can.
