Loved one who is known by the character they reveal in their letters. When you read it it’s like they’re right there with you.
Prologue
The Reign of Love is the Good News of the Kingdom of the Messiah. It is the story of the love of God revealed in Jesus & Him crucified for our salvation and the establishment of His Kingdom on earth. The Bible is its true, epic, unfolding story. Like a movie, this story unfolds in a series of seven scenes called Pre-Creation, Creation, Fall, Promise, Messiah, Kingdom & Re-Creation.

“All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;” 2 Tim. 3:16, 17 NASB

The Savior
Jesus said the entire Bible is about love.
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40 NASB
Jesus is the Word made flesh
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1, 14 NASB
Jesus said the entire Bible is about Him
“Then beginning with Moses and with all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures… They said to one another, “Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”Luke 24:27, 32 NASB
“You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me; and yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.” John 5:39-40 NASB
