b'How do you feel about libraries? They\\u2019re one of my favorite places! As the library doors swoosh open, I love breathing in the familiar scent of book pages and seeing the colorful spines lined along the shelves. I don\\u2019t even have a favorite section; I love them all\\u2014from history to literature to comparative religion to fiction. Libraries are the best.But libraries got even more exciting for me when I found out that Jesus\\u2014my Savior\\u2014has a librarian of sorts. The Bible tells the true story of Jesus, who is God, and how He died and rose again to beat sin and death. But the Bible isn\\u2019t just one book: it\\u2019s a whole library. It\\u2019s made up of many different types of books written by lots of different people, and the Holy Spirit oversaw the writing of all the Scriptures. The Bible includes history, law, poetry, prophecy, songs, letters, and more.But how did people know what books to put in the Bible? Enter Jesus\\u2019s Librarian.The Holy Spirit guided the people who wrote the Bible in a very special way called \\u201cinspiration,\\u201d which literally means the breath of God\\u2019s Holy Spirit guiding people. Then, He guided people in helping choose which books belonged in the Bible, His library. The people who chose the books in the Bible knew about the story of Jesus and listened to the Holy Spirit to figure out which books proclaimed that story well.That\\u2019s how we can know the Bible is true. God wrote it, using human people who trusted in and listened to Him. And we can see evidence of that truth in the unity of the Bible. Even though there are lots of different books, genres, and writers, it all tells the same story: Jesus died and rose again to beat sin and death!I love that God is so creative that He used a library to tell us the great story of His kingdom. And I love that this story has a happy ending, with Jesus coming back to make all things new\\u2014free from sin, death, and suffering (Revelation 21:1-5). \\u2022 What\\u2019s your favorite book of the Bible? Why? \\u2022 What questions do you have about the Bible? \\u2022 Who are trusted people you could talk to about these questions\\u2014such as pastors, parents, youth leaders, or counselors? \\u201cHe [Jesus] is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.\\u201d Acts 10:43 (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nActs.10.43|John.20.31|2Tim.3.16-2Tim.3.17'
