The Book of Us, by Tim Mulgew

Today, Roberta talks to Tim Mulgew about his new book The Book of Us: Discovering Ourselves in the Story of the Bible.

It’s amazing what else the Bible tells us. Once we move past the history, the science, the origins of mankind and his fall…

The things we typically study in the Bible are all dealt with in the first book, Genesis. But what lies beyond that is an amazing collection of our human-ness. The ingredients that make us up and how we misuse them. 
Our Bible shows us we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and that we are made “in the image of God” but we take these amazing tools and use them for our own purposes.
Our Bible has so much more for us, but we must move beyond milk and desire solid food. We must see ourselves in scripture in order to be able to use it in our daily life.
Our human nature has become our excuse – if we could understand it and learn to control it – imagine how our life could be… actually walking with God, actually going where He wants.
An alcoholic must first admit he has a problem before the problem can be fixed. But next, he has to decide if he actually wants the problem fixed. When we make ourselves into the god of our own little world…behold, we have our reward. How worthless is that reward compared to what God has for us.
The message is beyond salvation, it’s about what comes next once we are saved from our sin. The message is about how we will live our eternal life, starting today.
