ANSWER:

The Bible is the holy book of Christianity.

Here are a few important excerpts:

John:3:10-21

Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

11: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12: If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Acts:3

1:Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2: And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3: Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4: And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5: And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6: Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7: And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8: And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9: And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

10: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

11: And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

12: And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

13: The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

14: But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

15: And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

16: And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17: And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

18: But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

19: Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

20: And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

22: For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23: And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

24: Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

25: Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

26: Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Isaiah:53

1: Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

2: For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3: He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4: Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8: He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9: And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10: Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

11: He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12: Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Hebrews:2:6-18

6: But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visited him?

7: Thou made him a little lower than the angels; thou crowned him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

8: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

9: But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

10: For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11: For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12: Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

13: And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

14: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15: And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16: For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

17: Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18: For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.

Isaiah:9:6-7

6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7: Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

2Timothy:1:10: But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Jn:5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Lk:19:10: For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Jn:7:18: He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
The Holy Bible

Heb:4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Mt:4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Why is bible important to us?

The bible chronicles Jesus's life, what Christians believe to be the beginning of the world, it lines out how Christians are supposed to pray, what they should do to enter heaven, and how to be an acceptable christian. People interpret the bible in different ways, because there can be deeper meanings to some verses. The bible is meant to be a guideline for Christians. The bible was written a very long time ago, parts of it even before Jesus was born. Some denominations of Christianity take the bible more seriously than others, and some reject the bible all together, but still claim to be Christian. Personally, I think that the bible should be followed pretty strictly, but Christianity is considered very flexible by some people. The bible provides the basis for some laws, and the ten commandments, something brought up in the book of exodus, are very important as a guideline for most Christians. The ten commandments were found by Moses on the top of Mount Sinai, and they are ten rules for Christians to follow. The actual ten commandment's whereabouts are uncertain today, but what they said was written in the bible. The bible is a symbol for Christians in what they believe in. If you're not Christian, this doesn't really apply, but I'm sure the Bible has influenced how people act, but this can never be proven. The Bible has probably indirectly influenced everyone, just as the Qur'an (Islam) does and the Vedas (Hinduism).
