Have you ever wondered how the stories of the Bible connect together?
At first glance, the Scriptures can feel like a collection of separate books, events, and teachings. But when you step back, you begin to see a single, sweeping story — God’s plan to redeem His people. Jesus Himself explained this when He told His disciples, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled” (Luke 24:44).The Bible is not random. From Genesis to Revelation, it is one unfolding drama of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. Abraham’s faith, Joseph’s trials, Israel’s exodus, David’s kingdom, the prophets’ warnings — all of these threads point forward to Christ. When we read the Old Testament with the end in mind, we see God weaving the story toward the cross. And when we read the New Testament, we see the fulfillment of promises that began long ago.When believers grasp this, it changes how we read Scripture. Instead of isolated verses, we begin to see God’s consistent character and His unshakable plan. This brings confidence: the God who was faithful in the past is the same God who is faithful today. The Bible’s big story is meant to strengthen our faith. We can trust that our lives, too, are part of His unfolding plan.
