400 Bible Translations Later… Have You Actually Read It?
Most people today who identify as Christians own a Bible. That’s something we often take for granted—but it hasn’t always been this way.
In the first century, believers did not possess a complete, bound Bible as we know it today. The Hebrew Scriptures existed, but they were preserved primarily in scrolls housed in synagogues or the temple. Early Christians relied on oral teaching, eyewitness accounts, and eventually individual letters—what we might think of as “books”—circulating among congregations. The Christian faith grew and spread long before a compiled New Testament ever existed.
Understanding the Love of Jesus and His Father
When you receive the Holy Spirit, your entire being is transformed. Your priorities shift, your day-to-day life changes, and your beliefs align with Jehovah’s teachings as revealed through Jesus.
The Bible reminds us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking, but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). Have you ever truly contemplated this scripture? It means the kingdom isn’t centered on physical or material things—it’s about a transformed life marked by righteousness and spiritual fulfillment.
