  If it were not for the collection of the books of the Bible, we would not be able to trust God. The Scriptures give us all the information necessary for the believer to believe in God. The Old Testament gives us plenty of information about God, about his character, and how God relates to people. If it were not for the Old Testament, we would not have a complete picture of God. And, we do not need any other source but the Bible tell us about God. The first book of the Bible, the book of Genesis, is where we meet God for the first time. Genesis, especially in the early chapters, displays God's power and awesomeness. After the fall in Genesis chapter 3, we see how God deals with mankind and his chosen people Israel. Of course, Israel would rebel time after time again, and God would eventually send his Son into the world as payment for the sins of all mankind—everyone who has every lived: past, present, and future. Therefore, we have the New Testament, which tells us about God's relationship right before, during, and after the first coming of Jesus. Finally, we are not only told how we are to live as a church and individually, but we are also told what is going to happen in the future.
