MUSESE

I understood about the salvation from our Saviour when I read Bible Basics and Introducing Bible Basics, which are available from my fellow Christadelphians here in Uganda. The library provides the means, but I would beg you to send me an English Bible and booklets as a sword to fight with here. Jesus said, “Ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters shall inherit everlasting life.”

One of the most powerful arguments for the existence of God Almighty is in the Bible. The Bible contains many prophecies about the rise and fall of kingdoms and nations, about individuals and events. In many cases these prophecies were recorded hundreds of years in advance. This is something that man could not do, only God, who controls all things, could have caused them to be written. If we are to understand the Bible, Jesus said that we must become teachable as little children. Jesus again said, If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them, because some of us are weak in faith. The Bible gives us the reasons for these facts. This is a powerful proof that the Bible is divinely inspired and therefore infallible. Despite its age, the slight variations of translation in the various versions, they do not affect the doctrine, prophecy or historical facts, so the work of archaeology confirms in a remarkable way the truth and reliability of the Bible and thus, indirectly, show it to be the production of divine inspiration.

But the aim of Bible Basics is to enable one to systematically study the Bible by oneself. At the end of the studies, you have a clear view of the basic gospel, which Jesus taught. He commanded the disciples to preach the gospel to all the world, and to baptise believers by immersion in water, into his death and resurrection.
