Lesson Notes:
The bible is a collection of sacred writings which the church solemnly recognized as the: Word of God
written by men through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible was written by inspired human writers in
their own styles. The human writers of the Bible wrote only what God wanted them to write. The whole Bible,
properly interpreted by the church, is true and completely without error. The works which make up the Bible are
different from other writings. Even though they were written by human authors, the ultimate author of the whole
Bible is God. (Hann, 2008)

Discussion
God revealed Himself on many occasions and it was experienced by His chosen people though
different eras and culture. As an embodied spirit, we are making an effort to re-connect our self to the
Divine. Thus, it invites us to know Him more through the Bible.
The Bible is a large and sometimes difficult book. It was written over several thousand years, by
writers who lived in times very different from ours. Without help, we might misunderstand what some of
the Bible writers are trying to tell us. But we are not left without help. The church, founded by Jesus
Christ himself, and guided by the Holy Spirit interprets the Bible without falling into error. Just as Christ
promised, the Catholic Church is always here to teach us how to understand the Bible in light of the
living Tradition. (Hann, 2008)

Application

1. In one sentence, explain in your own words the significance of the Bible’s message (God’s love) to
your life?
The significance of the Bible’s message to my life is learn to forgive eventhough so hard to forgive
because our almighty God forgive us even though we have so many sins.

2. How important is the Bible to Christian Life/Faith development? Give one concrete application.
The bible to us as a Christian so very important because that’s the life of God, God who give us life and
protect us. A person who experience so many hard time just because of us. The bible tell us how good
is he and also tell us how good I am has a person even though I have so many shortcomings in life.
