THE OLD TESTAMENT:

A love story between God and his people

In many ways it was like a marriage. There were promises—covenants they called them. And a sheer determination to make the marriage work—to make it last forever. Yet, this particular marriage was like no other; it was the marriage of a God and His people—of the Hebrew God Yahweh with the children of Israel. You might say that the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament, provides the recorded history of this ancient marriage. It traces the love story between Israel and her God, a story that continues today in the lives of all those who look to the Holy Scriptures for inspiration, peace, and guidance.

Explanation:

The Bible says of itself that it is the inspired word of God, or "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). It unfolds as a divine love story between the Creator God and humankind – the object of God's love. The Bible tells of God's interaction with humankind. The Bible is somewhat like a library.
