How the Bible Disciples Us

A great little quote from Anthony Billington, Faculty Leader at LICC:

All of Scripture "disciples" us in how to think and feel and live: 

Laws disclose his will for how we should relate to him and to each other, and how our life together should be ordered
Narrative tells of his gracious plan being worked out through the ages and our part in it
Wisdom shows what it is to fear him in all areas of life
Prophecy challenges us to fulfil our responsibilities as his covenant people
Gospels proclaim the centrality of Christ in his plan of redemption, providing a kingdom-and-cross-shaped pattern for living in the process of doing so
Letters instruct those who are "in Christ" to grow up in him as we serve each other and live in the world
Apocalyptic trains us in how to hope as we look forward to the renewal of all things.
