Bible Quote by Richard D. Phillips
““One of the striking testimonies of the truthfulness of the Bible as God’s revelation is its coherence. Authors separated by centuries of history and remarkably different cultures are all saying fundamentally the same message: God alone brings life to people caught up in death, and God alone brings life through a ransom paid, a ransom paid by a substitute so that the one whom God is bringing to life might live.””
