The Bible records humanity's search for its divine source, the creator of the universe. All people are affected by the Bible's message, whether or not they are actively seeking God. A bird flies high or low but never gets away from the air. In much the same way, every conscious being is influenced, at least to some extent, by divine, infinite Spirit, which the Bible reveals as always present. Like the air around the bird, the presence of Spirit, or God, touches everyone, everywhere.
The Bible has often been referred to as God's revealed Word, or Logos. The revealed Word starts with an affirmation, in essence, that God is All and has created everything entirely good out of His own perfect being. The Biblical record moves on through valleys of darkened thought and mountains of inspired vision up to the teaching and example of Christ Jesus, and on through his earthshaking resurrection and to his matter-dissolving ascension. It shows the present, practical possibilities of Scriptural teachings for each of us. The Bible record draws to a conclusion with St. John's vision of "a new heaven and a new earth." Again, like the ever-present air, the inspiration of the Bible is for everyone, everywhere.
The inspiration of the Bible is for everyone, everywhere.
