The family that saves mankind

Many people will read the Bible and become bored. There are verses  in the Bible that only mentions names. Many people will avoid these sections. Those people needs to read those verses.
The family of Shem is interesting. It teaches that God understands what he is doing.
The history of mankind mentions that we sin because of Adam and Eve. If there is iniquities then we are not going to heaven. God must punish our sins. We deserve to go to hell.
God saves mankind in the family line of Shem. The Bible says that the Messiah is in this family line.
The cross of Jesus brings forgiveness to mankind. The Old Testament requires sacrifice of animals and Jesus fulfills the Old Testament. Jesus conquers death and he lives in heaven with God the Father.
We need to examine every verse and understand what the verse is saying. The Bible is the greatest book because God is the author.
