These sessions have helped me to understand that the Bible’s account of its origin actually changes the way we are supposed to view and use the scriptures in our daily lives. The Bible is not just a book of rules or the ancient history but it tells us the story of god’s plan to rescue men. So we see that throughout the scriptures God made covenants with his people proving a desire to build relationships with his people.

These covenants were mostly a call for people to return back to God with the promise of restoration while demanding obedience and justice from among his people. I think that the scripture should then shape our hearts, guide us in decision making, strengthen our faith, and also help us to understand the purpose of God over our lives. The Bible should be used as not only a study material but a tool for our transformation. I think this is what scriptures must do in my life.
