Have you ever thought about the one central theme of the Bible? If you could summarize the Bible into one sentence, what would it be? Maybe you haven’t given much thought to the subject. If you have, what’s your one sentence?
There are many but the central theme I see is found in Genesis 3:9. In this verse, God asks Adam what seems to be a simple question – “Where are you?” That’s the basic theme, and question everyone must answer. The Bible in three words – talk about a summary! God knew where Adam was physically. The question was spiritual. The theme of the Bible and the reason God became man was to answer that question.
From the Garden of Eden to Bethlehem to Jerusalem to Rome to London to New York to Mobile, God is asking “Where are you?” What’s your answer? If we’re honest, we have to answer as Adam did – lost, hiding and ashamed. God knows where we are – lost without Him. The reason He became man was to become the bridge we must cross so He can take us to the Father.
Where are you?
