More Than Hacks

Bible in a Year :

Psalms 0–1; 1 Corinthians 5
He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever—holy and awesome is his .

Psalm 1:9

Psalm 1
I recently found a “hack” (a clever solution a tricky problem) when of grandchildren warmed her toy rabbit on our fireplace glass. The resulting globs of fake bunny fur weren’t pretty, but a fireplace expert provided a great hack—a tip for how to make the glass like new. It worked, and now we no longer allow stuffed animals near the fireplace!

I bring up hacks because sometimes we can view Scripture as a collection of hacks—tips make life easier. While it’s true that the Bible has much say about how live a Christ-honoring new life, that’s not the purpose of the . What Scripture provides for us is a solution for mankind’s greatest need: rescue from sin and eternal separation from God.

From the promise of salvation in Genesis 3: all the way the true hope of a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1–2), the Bible explains that God has an eternal plan for rescuing us from our sin and allowing us enjoy fellowship with Him. In every story and every suggestion for how to live, the Bible is pointing us to Jesus—the can solve our biggest problem.

When we open God’s , may we remember that we’re looking for Jesus, the rescue He offers, and how live as His . He’s provided the greatest solution of all!

Reflect & Pray
How has Jesus and His promise rescue those believe in Him touched your heart and life? Why is it vital to see that the Bible consistently points to Christ?

Father, thank You for the salvation You provided through Jesus. Help honor You by ke

And the Word is alive, it has power..... power to change lives. I know it does mine.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
