What is the Bible?

Bible is the source of the Christian religion in that the Bible contains the words of God and how the Christian is to apply the words of God to his life.

Furthermore, the Bible teaches us that forgiveness of sins is found in Jesus alone, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12)
