All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=2%20Timothy%203:16-17&version=NLT
Our Father has given us a beautifully honest compilation of historical accounts of humanity in motion, doing life with each other; and He has in the Bible shown us how He has lived with us, as He found us, through all the ages of time.
And then He sent Jesus, who volunteered to come to show us who they perfectly are. While Jesus was on Earth with us, He lived entirely in the full excellent purity of the Father’s character. He assured us that if we have seen Him, we have seen the Father, because He and His Father are one. Jesus showed us, in living flesh, what the compilation of biographies had shown us in word. Our Father loves us as we are, and will do anything, even give His own life, to help us to see the most excellent way of love.
He asks then one simple thing of us: love others as we love ourselves; and we love ourselves as we are loved by Him, when we allow Him to show us His love.
You are loved. I am loved. We are loved. Can we love? We must, because the light and hope for peace is bound up in our ability, in our resolve to love.
For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son, that whosoever believe in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him may be saved.
