Why Do We Call It the Holy Bible? The phrase “Holy Bible” is more than just a title. It is a profound declaration of the divine nature, purpose, and authority of the book that billions revere as the Word of God. To fully grasp why we call it “Holy Bible,” we must explore its linguistic roots, historical usage, spiritual significance, and its role in shaping faith across centuries. The word Bible comes from the Greek word biblia (βιβλία), which simply means “books.” Originally, this referred to a collection of scrolls or writings. Over time, these writings were recognized as sacred scripture, and the term “Bible” began to refer specifically to these inspired texts. It is, in essence, a *library of divine revelation* — composed of 66 books (39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament). The Bible is a compilation of different books — history, poetry, prophecy, law, gospel, and letters. Though it was written over a span of 1,500 years by more than 40 different authors from diverse backgrounds, it carries **one unified message**: God's plan of redemption for humanity. This divine consistency through such diversity is one of the reasons it is considered holy. No other literary work has this breadth and depth, yet holds such spiritual unity. Christians believe that the Bible is “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16). This means that though men physically wrote the words, the content was inspired by the Holy Spirit. It’s not just good literature — it is divine revelation, revealing God’s will, character, and purpose. From the earliest church councils, the Bible has been treated with reverence. Early believers preserved, copied, and protected the scriptures even at the cost of their lives. Over the centuries, it has been translated into thousands of languages, smuggled into closed nations, and shared in secret during times of persecution — all because it was considered holy and worth dying for When people read the Bible, they encounter a living message. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active.” People don’t just read the Bible — the Bible reads them. It speaks to the heart, convicts the soul, and offers healing. This unique power to *transform lives* adds to its holiness. Jesus Himself treated the Scriptures as holy. He quoted them, taught from them, and fulfilled them. In Luke 24:44, Jesus said, “Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Jesus affirmed the sacredness of the scriptures, and His life gave them ultimate fulfillment. The Bible is not fully understood apart from the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit that inspired the Bible is the one who helps believers understand and apply it. This dynamic relationship with the Spirit makes the Bible a **living book**, and this is why it is described as *holy*. The Old Testament points to the coming of the Messiah. The New Testament reveals that Messiah — Jesus Christ. Together, they form a complete, holy narrative of God’s redemptive love. The unity of the Bible across centuries and testaments reinforces its holiness. Despite centuries of attacks, bans, and attempts to destroy it, the Bible has survived and thrived. It is historically reliable, archaeologically verified, and spiritually preserved. Its endurance is a testimony to its divine origin — and why we continue to call it *Holy*. Millions testify of how the Bible led them to a personal relationship with God. Through it, they found peace, purpose, forgiveness, and eternal hope. It is holy because it connects the heart of man with the heart of God. 📺 Stay Connected with Jesus Blesses TV!
