The Main Message of the Bible: Its Central Theme & Purpose
Written by David Kimin In-Depth Bible Study Last Updated December 26, 2022
An open Bible with pages flipping
The Bible is a big book, a collection of 66 books written by around 40 different authors over a period of 1600 years. Is there a unifying theme in the Bible? In this article, I’ll share an overview of the Bible so that the main message of the Bible will be easier to see.
What is the main message of the Bible? The main message of the Bible is that God is restoring the world to His original design through Jesus Christ. The world is in a state of brokenness because of mankind’s rejection of God and His plan. Jesus entered into a broken and hurting world to die on the cross to restore mankind to God.

Troy Day I don’t know what 3 you’re talking about. The message of the cross is one thing. Jesus and Him crucified is the same one thing.

it’s three, ‘Jesus’ the man, ‘Christ’ the Savior, ‘crucified’, the death, all a separate message, just as ‘faith’ is a separate message

I believe the central message of the Bible is ‘repentance’

Troy Day the main theme of the Bible is the greatest love of God for the world 🌎: Jesus, the true, the life, the way, the water of life, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, the One who came, died, resurrected, left, but….
He’s coming back again very soon!!!!

Troy Day Not at all. The Father and Holy Spirit are intertwined throughout the story. But the message of the Bible is Jesus, who paid the price for our salvation.

The redemption of fallen man through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Type, shadow and reality! It is the common thread woven from Gen-Revelation!

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Main theme would be what we call the scarlet thread of redemption.  We look at the story of Cain and Abel, and the sacrifices. We also look at Abraham building alters and how he was justified by faith. Then we come to the books of Moses  how he writes about the Levitcal priesthood. The brazen altar and blood of the lamb could get the priest to the ark.  We are justified by faith in Christ and what he did at the cross. Christ was the sacrifice and center piece of the Gospel and fulfillment of the law and all that is written.

No! It’s not a restoration of the Old Creation that is wearing out, but rather a New Creation!

The Bible is a love story, a map , an adventure , a light , a lamp, the plan of salvation , our Redeemer, our redemption, the person of Christ the work of the Holy Spirit, the glories of heaven and the holy angels, the Father and the prodigal sons, warnings , instructions in righteousness, the folly of man and faith in God. The theme of the bible bread to the eater and seed to the sower and so much more . But for me it is the revelation of Jesus my Saviour my hope and help. The King of glory and the Lamb that takes away the sins of the world

The main theme of the Bible is sadly what most people overlook,, it’s Jesus Christ the son of God coming to a world of lost sinners and giving His Life as a Sacrifice for sin.. However, it’s us,, human flesh that has to place our Faith in that Sacrifice to attain Salvation.. and as well,, The main theme of the Bible is to Redeem Israel (God’s Chosen People) during the Great Tribulation… anyone who reads the Bible all the way through,, (with proper word for word translation NOT word for thought translation) can easily see this..

Troy Day I agree with you right here… I also believe that the one message/Theme that summarizes ALL themes is the Gospel of the Kingdom… not the gospel of prosperity…. Not the gospel of Paul, or Apollos … the Gospel of the Kingdom!!!!

God’s love extended to sinful man through the sacrifice of His only begotten son Jesus and the promise of the Holy Ghost.

Troy Day The Bible is about a King, His Kingdom, & His royal family! It’s simple, religious people make it hard!!! John, Jesus, the 12 Apostles , & Paul came with 1 Summarized message it is called the Gospel of the Kingdom

Troy Day Jesus wants everyone to truly grasp this message & this is why He spoke in Parables in the 1st place. & if you don’t understand the parable of the Sower you won’t get the other parables Mark 4:13.
Anonymous
Troy Day I won’t lie I will never forget how I was a 12 year old little boy & the Holy Spirit decided to fill me with His Holy Spirit , yes speaking in a language that I’d never learned! But once God began to share with me why He spoke parables & allowed believers to hear 👂 them it made EVERYTHING make sense. I grew up learning about Eternal life , the 9 gifts , the baptism in the Holy Spirit… But once I began to see the KINGDOM I saw 👀 the Kingdom everywhere. When at one time I only saw The Holy Spirit & His 9 gifts… & not saying that it is not true, but it is so much more . The Gospel of the kingdom is hidden from so many !!!

That God created mankind for relationship with Himself, that He desires to demonstrate his love for us through his son Jesus. Because God so loved the world that he gave his son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins and that whosoever believes in him would not spend eternity in hell but that we would have eternal life through the atoning work of Jesus Christ… And that our sincere worship is our way to show our love to God in return.

Romans 3 :25 There is a God, He created all, man sinned and Jesus became the propitiation unto God due to sin. Everything for the glory of God — Romans 3 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all [a]and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified [b]freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a [c]propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

The following biblical references are implied that the Bible is mainly for Gospel:
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9).
According to 2 Timothy 1: 9 & 10 “Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began”,
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures”
“And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” (1 Corinthians 15:3 & 4).
