Themes of the bible

Christian Bibles all have the same themes running through them; besides that fact, most of them say basically the same things. Compare passages among three or four different translations and the student will observe that in many case there are only a few words that are changed. The substance is the same. The most prevalent themes in the Bible are very simple: believe in God, follow the Word of God, this is the way to …

…obey God's commandments to be saved, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The themes run from the first Book in the Old Testament to the lst Book in the New Testament. As mentioned before, many of the messages are in a negative form: if you don't do this these horrible things will happen to you; other are in the form of promises; and still others act as confirmations of the covenant between God and Israel.
