What is the theme of the Bible? What are the precious truths necessary and essential for salvation? What are the great questions of life? Do you have a clear and deep understanding of the purpose of God and human existence? What is the thread of the Bible and have you mastered what God wants you to master? God makes salvation available by unmerited grace, but we must labor in the word and grow in the grace and knowledge. Let us convey the word of God by what we say and do and be a light to the world by clinging to the trunk of the tree!
