Back To The Bible is a spiritual initiative to go back to the original intent of the Bible’s purpose.
This is initiated by first raising awareness of the many significant departures from 1st Century New Testament Christian doctrine, practices, and concepts—which are so prevalent in modern-day religion. The concept and practice of Christianity have become far removed from their original state. It has become something that neither God intended, nor the apostles taught. In fact, they warned against it! (1 Timothy 4:1-4; 2 Timothy 4:1-4).
The goal of Getting Back To The Bible is to encourage believers and nonbelievers to go back to God’s original concept of Christian doctrine and observances. It is a spiritual detoxing from human-based religion and spirituality, to God-based religion and spirituality.
This journey of going Back To The Bible begins with a proper understanding of the Bible’s Story. Below are five main highlights of that story: 1) Knowing God; 2) Main Theme of the Bible: The Redemption & Reconciliation of the human race; 3) What Sin is and its Relevance in The Bible’s Story; 4) What Bible Salvation Involves; 5) New Testament Christianity.
To fully and properly understand the above highlights of the Biblical story, we must view them as the Bible does and not through the preconceived lenses of ancient human traditions and modern-day religion. Since the Bible writers were inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21), The Bible Itself is the standard context for understanding all of Its message to the human race. Any other context besides the context of the time of the author’s writings is foreign to the Bible. Biblical context is not our own, not the church fathers, not Catholicism, not the Reformation, not the Dark ages, not Evangelicalism. Biblical context is the context in which the Bible was written, Its own context. It is within this context alone that one can truly know and understand God’s eternal plan for all generations.
In order to influence others around us to consider the importance of Getting Back To The Bible, we must first make certain that our lives are genuinely embedded in the Bible, not just Biblical facts. We must also be unafraid to stretch ourselves to become deeper students of the Bible. Furthering our depth of knowledge of the Scriptures and of those who’ve attempted to live by them.
