I thought it would uplifting to start a thread where we could share those things (images, passages, examples, prophecy) that have personally strengthened our faith by perhaps showing how God's Word is consistent, comprehensive, or cohesive.

- As God brings Eve to Adam - So the father draws the bride to Christ
