Context makes a difference in conversation, but also when we read the Bible. That's why we created Bible Need To Know, a recurring feature that looks at the story behind the stories in the Bible. Use these devotionals ...

Look to the Bible for scripture and wise words about the importance of loving others.

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. - 1 John 2:2 (NIV) Jesus died on the cross for all of mankind while we were still in our sin. And His gift of forgiveness extends to all who would receive Him.
