The Bible is a collection of books written by different authors over a long period of time. It contains stories, teachings, and messages from God that are still relevant today. But sometimes the language used in the Bible can be a bit confusing. That's where a glossary comes in handy.
Here are some words you might come across in the Bible:
- Covenant - A promise or agreement between two parties. In the Bible, God made a covenant with his people, promising to be their God and protect them.
- Salvation - The act of being saved from something. In the Bible, salvation refers to being saved from sin and death through faith in Jesus Christ.
