The Bible was created over a 2000 year span by over 40 authors but it is all about one topic, Jesus Christ. The Bible shows the creation of the Earth and Man, the fall of man, the plan to fix it, and the final end where all Christians will meet each other in Heaven by means of the rapture. The scripture of the Jews and the story of Jesus Christ and his apostles come together to create the most meaningful and inspiring story known to man. While learning how to follow the Christian faith, throughout the Bible you can find examples of how to live your life. The bible has many lines in it that promote values like friendship. Proverbs 17:17- "Friends always show their love. What are brothers for if not to share troubles?" This quote, like thousands more from the Bible, show you how to treat other people. This one specifically tells you that friends always help each other through problems.
