+The bible claims to be more than words. It is words of life. From the very beginning the
+biblical books have been books of faith. They talk about the fathers of faith. They talk
+about the struggle of faith. And they talk about God, who want to talk and wants to be
+with humans.
+In the gospel of John, chapter 6, it is said about "the word":

+In the Old Testament God talks to humans, usually to prophets who then communicate to others.
+With Jesus, this changes significantly. Here, God himself is there among humans, he talks
+himself through the son, through Jesus. And with the holy spirit it is claimed that God
+talks to all of them the same way: through the scriptures and the spirit to all
+who believe in Jesus.
+The bible is more than history, since its goal and purpose is to bring people into
+a relationship to God. We are all asked to open our eyes, our ears and our heart and
+start to live with the living creator, the beginning and the end. So there is a lot to
+explore and to learn, when we start to explore the biblical books, from Genesis
+to the Revelation.
+Come and join us, with Christians all over the planet, to come to the Lord.
