In this lesson, we learn that even though the Bible was not written to us, it was written for us. Do you agree with this statement and how does it change, if at all, how you study and understand the Bible?

While I understand the reasoning behind this statement, I disagree that the Bible was not written to us. I believe God inspired this word both TO us and FOR us. It doesn’t change how I study, but it does make it more personal to me.

I agree that is why I believe this is the “Inspired word of God”
-
I agree, because God protected his Word to our time for a reason.

I agree with the statement that the Bible was not written to us but it was written for us. This puts into exact words of how I have looked at the Bible for many years now. Although we were not living when the different books of the Bible were written they all have a message for us on how we should live, look at others and most importantly how we should look at God. Although there are a few passages, sentences or parts of sentences that are hard if not impossible to apply to modern times when taken in context on the passages surrounding them we can always “gleam” lessons from that section of the Bible.

I agree with the statement. The statement is a simplified way of summarizing a lot of theology. It also highlights the need to dig deeply into even the most seemingly irrelevant biblical material in the hope of coming up with all that God would have us know and do.
