INTRODUCTION
A STORY OF GOD'S PROVIDENCE
The story of how the Bible came to be is not like many of our favorite Bible stories.
We all love to read about dramatic miracles such as Moses parting the Red Sea or Elijah calling down fire from Heaven. Even more fascinating are the signs wrought by our Lord Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry.
To be sure, there were some miracles involved in the Bible's composition, but much of its creation was guided by something more mysterious: God's Providence. This is defined as His upholding, governing, and directing whatsoever comes to pass. You can think of it in terms of God's invisible hand constantly moving pieces on a cosmic chessboard.
Sometimes God's hand of providence is obvious and sometimes it is more difficult to discern, but the Christian understands that everything from the rise and fall of nations to the number of hairs on his head is in God's sovereign hands.
Come then, and let us consider how faithfully God providentially guided one of the most important events in history: delivering His perfect Word to fallen men.
