    Jesus is the central figure and theme of the Bible. His birth as the Jewish Messiah and Savior of the world was prophesied by Old Testament authors. Their writings contain more than three hundred separate references to the coming of Jesus, with many unique details. Christ fulfilled 100 percent of all the Old Testament predictions of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of the Messiah. The Bible tells us how man fell into sin and how God in His grace saved man (Gn. 3:1-15). It tells us of God's great love for sinful men and the death of Jesus to redeem man (Jn. 3:16). The Bible teaches us that the Holy Spirit was sent into the world to apply Jesus' redemptive work to man (Rm. 8:1-14). At the climax of history, we will see the world redeemed and the full manifestation of God's glory (1 Cr. 15:22-28).

    The New Testament makes an even more revolutionary claim: that Jesus Christ is the center of all biblical prophecy. The Scripture proclaims: "Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through prophets [in visions, dreams, and even face to face], telling them little by little about his plans. But now in these days he has spoken to us through his Son to whom he has given everything, and through whom he made the world and everything there is." (Hebrews 1:1-2). And the book of Ephesians declares: "God has told us His secret reason for sending Christ, a plan He decided on in mercy long ago; and this was His purpose: that when the time is ripe He will gather us all together from wherever we are- in Heaven or on Earth - to be with Him in Christ, forever." (Eph 1:9-10)

    Many of the characters in the Bible are actually of the lineage of Jesus Christ, and that is what we Christians call the "scarlet thread" some times. It runs from one end of the Bible to the other. Thus I would say for absolute certain, that Jesus is the central message of the Bible, both old and new testaments.

    have you ever seen a picture of saints with a Purple or Gold-halo. That is not make-believe.

    whether it's saint, or boddhisattva,

    all enlightened Beings create a Halo around their Crown-Chakra

    with Purple, Gold or White-Light from the Great Central Sun, the sun behind the sun!

    the final diagnosis boiled all the way down to lowest concern-unfastened denominator: Get clever, get stored - with the aid of Jesus Christ or relax-certain you will no longer be able to even see no longer to point understand what's of our God's actual Kingdom (no person whom is non secular or good in his own eyes or different's eyes would be stored by utilising their strikes - all men have sinned and have broken God's regulation and for this reason, fall wanting the honour of God - no person is physically powerful yet God on my own - see Jn 3:a million-14 - be conscious: Nicodemus advance into an relatively non secular guy yet Jesus instructed him that he had ignored the 1st maximum extreme step and by utilising doing so he does no longer be able to pass into the dominion of Heaven (ref. Jn 14:6; 5:39; 10:a million,7; Acts 4:12). Jesus promised that whomever searches for Jesus with all their heart & soul will locate our genuine God & His Kingdom. Neither mortal human beings (no remember what they declare) nor faith and its non secular practices can save absolutely everyone. what's of the God of Israel stands constantly yet what's of guy, which comprise his faith dies with him. on the different hand, why ought to God want somebody to stay with Him constantly in the event that they do no longer want to appreciate Him? voyc4rmwldrns
