Understanding the Bible's Timelessness
The Bible remains timeless because it deals with eternal truths, reflecting the unchanging nature of God. While culture, technology, and times change, the essence of the Bible remains the same. The New Testament is rooted in and builds upon the foundation established in the Old Testament. Both testaments emphasize God's compassion, mercy, and judgment. The Bible reveals that God's character and the message of salvation are consistent throughout its pages. It also highlights the timelessness of the Bible's truth, as prophecies from the Old Testament find fulfillment in the New Testament. Understanding the relationship between the two testaments helps to grasp the coherence of God's plan and the continuity of His message.
