Isn’t it exciting to think of all that you know about God from the Old and New Testament stories. This same God who walked and talked with Adam and Eve in the garden; who made and kept a promise to Abraham with you and I in mind; who after calling to Moses, introduced Himself (Exodus 3:6) “I AM the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” “This same God is alive and active today – still listening, still acting, still pouring out His grace on us”. These are not just stories. Our God is real. How can you not smile at this realization? I know the stories are familiar. Setting that aside, keep in mind that we are about to embark on following “The Story” from the beginning when God unfolded His plan just so that you and I could have a relationship with Him.
What are we supposed to get out of this? I have a feeling our lives will be changed as we not only understand how God interacted in the lives of real people (both familiar and unfamiliar to us) but how He wants to interact with us today.
“As you read The Story you will encounter not only the story of humankind but also the story of who God is and what He has done for us – for you. This story makes the insistent claim that a loving God has sought you and provided a way of redemption – a way for you to enter a relationship with Him.”
This story has the power to change how you view life certainly, but it is the God of this story who has the power to change your life…to change who you are and how you see yourself. You can change to the person you were always meant to be.
