The Old Testament is the foundation for the New Testament. It is full of historical narratives and prophecies in which God spoke to mankind through prophets. In the New Testament, God speaks directly to us through His Word and He invites us to join His family.

The AV7 Bible focuses on God's invitation to each of us individually in the New Testament to enourage us to know that His word is available to nourish and encourage us daily if we will meditate on His Word. The AV7 Bible makes it possible to read the Bible from the inside out ... to focus on His promises ... and then read the Old Testament to know the foundation upon which His promises are built.

People need to know and want to know what God's promises are ... and on the basis of God's promises, they can build a wonderful personal relationship with Him.

As we all establish this personal relationship with God, that gives us a solid foundation for growing in faith by reading more and more of the Bible, including the wonderful foundation that is found in the Old Testament ... to gain wisdom and knowledge as the foundation for their faith.
