00:21.650 --> 00:25.110
You are about to hear the greatest story
ever told.

00:25.470 --> 00:28.950
The story is found in the most important
book in the world, the Bible.

00:29.850 --> 00:34.590
You will find your place in its pages,
your past and your future, because the

00:34.590 --> 00:37.010
Creator of the universe wanted us to know
Him.

00:37.670 --> 00:43.090
Slowly, over a period of about 1,500
years, God selected various individuals

00:43.090 --> 00:45.570
from many places to write His message to
us.

00:46.170 --> 00:51.450
Today, we have what God has chosen to
reveal to us in a collection of 66 books

00:51.450 --> 00:52.630
called the Bible.

00:53.310 --> 00:57.630
The Bible explains that God guided the
writers so that they recorded in their own

00:57.630 --> 01:00.130
words what He wanted them to say and
write.

01:00.810 --> 01:06.110
In those sacred writings, God lovingly
made two major promises to ensure we could

01:06.110 --> 01:06.970
come to know Him.

01:07.590 --> 01:11.630
Today, those promises are called the Old
Testament and the New Testament,

01:12.050 --> 01:13.930
or the Old and New Covenants.

01:14.830 --> 01:17.130
Do not be overwhelmed by the length of the
story.

01:17.870 --> 01:22.730
Slowly, prayerfully, and openly listen for
what He is revealing about people like us

01:22.730 --> 01:23.950
and about Himself.

01:24.650 --> 01:29.030
He is pursuing us through the people and
events of the Bible story, and He never

01:29.030 --> 01:32.130
spoke more clearly than when He sent His
Son, Jesus.

01:32.890 --> 01:36.470
Now, listen to the greatest love story
ever told.
