John 3:16 is the whole Bible in short. And the entire third chapter of John gives you the core of the Gospel and the Bible.

For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Old Testament books of the Bible
(These are the books written long before Jesus was born.)

1. Genesis
Genesis answers two big questions: “How did God’s relationship with the world begin?” and “Where did the nation of Israel come from?”
Author: Traditionally Moses, but the stories are much older.

Fun fact: Most of the famous Bible stories you’ve heard about are probably found in the book of Genesis. This is where the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Ark, the Tower of Babel, Abraham and Isaac, Jacob’s ladder, and Joseph’s coat of many colors are recorded.

2. Exodus
God saves Israel from slavery in Egypt, and then enters into a special relationship with them.
Author: Traditionally Moses

3. Leviticus
God gives Israel instructions for how to worship Him.
Author: traditionally Moses

4. Numbers
Israel fails to trust and obey God, and wanders in the wilderness for 40 years.
Author: Traditionally Moses

5. Deuteronomy
Moses gives Israel instructions (in some ways, a recap of the laws in Exodus–Numbers) for how to love and obey God in the Promised Land.
Author: Traditionally Moses

6. Joshua
Joshua (Israel’s new leader) leads Israel to conquer the Promised land, then parcels out territories to the twelve tribes of Israel.
Author: Nobody knows

Fun fact: You’ve probably heard of a few fantastic stories from this book (the Battle of Jericho and the day the sun stood still), but most of the action happens in the first half of this book. The last half is pretty much all about divvying up the real estate.

7. Judges
Israel enters a cycle of turning from God, falling captive to oppressive nations, calling out to God, and being rescued by leaders God sends their way (called “judges”).
Author: Nobody knows

8. Ruth
Two widows lose everything, and find hope in Israel — which leads to the birth of the future King David.
Author: Nobody knows

9. 1 Samuel
Israel demands a king, who turns out to be quite a disappointment.
Author: Nobody knows

10. 2 Samuel
David, a man after God’s own heart, becomes king of Israel.
Author: Nobody knows

11. 1 Kings
The kingdom of Israel has a time of peace and prosperity under King Solomon, but afterward splits, and the two lines of kings turn away from God.
Author: Nobody knows

12. 2 Kings
Both kingdoms ignore God and his prophets, until they both fall captive to other world empires.
Author: Nobody knows

13. 1 Chronicles
This is a brief history of Israel from Adam to David, culminating with David commissioning the temple of God in Jerusalem.
Author: Traditionally Ezra

14. 2 Chronicles
David’s son Solomon builds the temple, but after centuries of rejecting God, the Babylonians take the southern Israelites captive and destroy the temple.
Author: Traditionally Ezra

15. Ezra
The Israelites rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, and a scribe named Ezra teaches the people to once again obey God’s laws.
Author: Ezra

16. Nehemiah
The city of Jerusalem is in bad shape, so Nehemiah rebuilds the wall around the city.
Author: Nehemiah

17. Esther
Someone hatches a genocidal plot to bring about Israel’s extinction, and Esther must face the emperor to ask for help.
Author: Nobody knows

18. Job
Satan attacks a righteous man named Job, and Job and his friends argue about why terrible things are happening to him.
Author: Nobody knows

19. Psalms
A collection of 150 songs that Israel sang to God (and to each other)—kind of like a hymnal for the ancient Israelites.
Author: So many authors—meet them all here!

20. Proverbs
A collection of sayings written to help people make wise decisions that bring about justice.
Author: Solomon and other wise men

21. Ecclesiastes
A philosophical exploration of the meaning of life—with a surprisingly nihilistic tone for the Bible.
Author: Traditionally Solomon

22. Song of Solomon (Song of Songs)
A love song (or collection of love songs) celebrating love, desire, and marriage.
Author: Traditionally Solomon (but it could have been written about Solomon, or in the style of Solomon)

23. Isaiah
God sends the prophet Isaiah to warn Israel of future judgment—but also to tell them about a coming king and servant who will “bear the sins of many.”
Author: Isaiah (and maybe some of his followers)

24. Jeremiah
God sends a prophet to warn Israel about the coming Babylonian captivity, but the people don’t take the news very well.
Author: Jeremiah

25. Lamentations
A collection of dirges lamenting the fall of Jerusalem after the Babylonian attacks.
Author: Traditionally Jeremiah

26. Ezekiel
God chooses a man to speak for Him to Israel, to tell them the error of their ways and teach them justice: Ezekiel.
Author: Ezekiel

27. Daniel
Daniel becomes a high-ranking wise man in the Babylonian and Persian empires, and has prophetic visions concerning Israel’s future.
Author: Daniel (with other contributors)

28. Hosea
Hosea is told to marry a prostitute who leaves him, and he must bring her back: a picture of God’s relationship with Israel.
Author: Hosea

29. Joel
God sends a plague of locusts to Judge Israel, but his judgment on the surrounding nations is coming, too.
Author: Joel

30. Amos
A shepherd named Amos preaches against the injustice of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

35. Habakkuk
Habakkuk pleads with God to stop the injustice and violence in Judah, but is surprised to find that God will use the even more violent Babylonians to do so.
Author: Habakkuk

36. Zephaniah
God warns that he will judge Israel and the surrounding nations, but also that he will restore them in peace and justice.
Author: Zephaniah

37. Haggai
The people have abandoned the work of restoring God’s temple in Jerusalem, and so Haggai takes them to task.
Author: Haggai

38. Zechariah

John 3:16 is the whole Bible in short. And the entire third chapter of John gives you the core of the Gospel and the Bible.

For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Good, but mine is Romans 8:2-3
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh"

Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

makes me think of Matthew 6:19-20 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Can you tell me the whole Bible in short?

Hello @saintman,

My mind goes to the words of Paul to Timothy, in chapter three:-

'But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works'.

(2 Timothy 3:14)

This is the purpose of God, that we should see Christ in all the Scriptures, in type, and in person. That we may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing my have life through His Name. What a wonderful purpose!

Praise God!

In Christ Jesus
Chris

OLD TESTAMENT....
KJV Exodus 25
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
NEW TESTAMENT...
KJV Acts 17
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
KJV Hebrews 8
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
KJV 1 Corinthians 3
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?


God's goal throughout the bible is His earnest desire to make His people holy that He might dwell amongst them. Forever.
