About This Quote

The primary purpose of reading the Bible is not to know the Bible but to know God. The idea of this quote is that a person can learn a lot about God from the Bible, but that cannot be fully accomplished unless the reader also knows the true nature of God. We have seen that each verse of the Bible stands on its own as a piece of literature. And, as you read along, you will come across some verses that seem to conflict with others. In those cases, it is essential to understand why those particular verses are included in the Bible and how they fit together as a cohesive whole.
