We continue our Stamp Out Bible Illiteracy Gently (SOBIG) campaign here on GUWG.
Last week, we kicked things off with our official Bible Quiz-o-rama to help us all assess our level of Bible literacy. We then went through a slew of ways to get more Bible into our ♥s.
Yesterday, we started answering this question: What exactly is the Bible?
Today, we’ll do a deeper dive into what the Bible says about itself. Read the following passage slooooowly:

Last week, we kicked things off with a little quiz to assess your Bible literacy. Then we delved into how to get more Bibleishness into our lives. Next, we boiled the Bible down to one noun: JESUS. Then one verb: LOVE. And then the job description for every Christian: BELIEVE. And yesterday we discussed the only thing that matters, according to the Bible: FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF IN LOVE.
Today, we’ll focus on another big-picture word: RELATIONSHIP.
At its ♥, Christianity isn’t a religion. It’s a relationship. We can actually know God.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean following a bunch of rules and regulations. It means being part of the most loving family in the history of the universe. The Bible says:

Today we start looking at how to read the Bible. When reading God’s communication to us, it’s absolutely critical to keep the BIG PICTURE in mind.
First, it helps to know the basic plot …
Yesterday here on GUWG, we shared some frightening statistics and then officially declared this STAMP OUT BIBLE ILLITERACY GENTLY (SOBIG) WEEK.
To help us all assess our level of Bible literacy, we provided this handy little quiz. As promised, here is the official answer key.
Now it’s time for another test. But first, here’s today’s Bible dose for your consideration:

The Bible is the really very most incredibly amazingly astoundingly awesome communication in the history of the universe.
Just think about it. The Creator of the Universe breathed out his thoughts for all us mere earthlings to behold.
And what do we do with it?

What a picture: The Bible captures the very breath of God.
