With all the bad news about who we are and where we are going, we might be tempted to
throw our hands up and say, “What’s the point of anything?” The Bible contains enough bad
news to point out our condition, but the Bible is not a book of bad news. It is intended to be a
book of good news. Every verse and every word points to the fact that God does not want to
leave us in this condition. Instead, these words point us to the way of restoration and restored
fellowship with God.
