What a book the Bible is. The Bible is the most translated book in history, available in over 3,500 languages. This remarkable fact speaks to its universal importance—people across the world, from every culture and background, long to hear God’s Word in their own language. The message of love, redemption, and salvation is not limited to one nation or tongue; it is meant for all mankind.
Matthew 24:14 declares, “And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come” (NLT). Every translation brings us closer to fulfilling this prophecy, ensuring that no one is left without access to God’s truth.
Mankind’s desire to accurately translate the Bible reflects a deep hunger for God. His Word transcends borders and languages, bringing hope to every generation. Wherever His Word goes, lives are transformed.
