I used to be limited to just being born into the faith, but a few years ago, I started a youth Bible study group, which gave me time to read, learn, meditate on, and share the Bible.

Heo Young-yeop: Biblical Symbols
The Bible is a book that records the Word of God in human language. Therefore, it is easy to assume that this book was written in a single moment, but that is not the case. The Bible was written by many people over a long period of time. Consequently, the biblical message is infused with the history, society, culture, customs, and traditions of various eras. Thus, to properly understand the Bible, an understanding of the history and culture contained within it is essential. Furthermore, the Bible is not merely a simple story. It is embedded with various symbols. Therefore, to read the Bible thoroughly and savor it, one must be able to understand its symbols well. Only then can one better grasp the Bible's original meaning. *Symbols in the Bible* is a book that explains in detail not only the history, society, culture, customs, and traditions of various eras contained within the Bible, but also the meanings held by the symbols found therein. In doing so, it aims to aid in understanding the Bible. As one's understanding of the Bible expands, it becomes easier to savor its essence and engrave its words in one's heart. And once you savor the Bible, you will experience God's power actually working within you, enabling you to live a happy and blessed life right here and now. This is because the Bible is the very word of power that brings salvation. Although the words of the Bible were recorded in human language, it is simultaneously a book written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible transcends time and space, enabling communication and establishing a personal relationship with God. Therefore, the words of the Bible become a source of joy, practical power and blessing, and ultimate salvation for believers. - From the recommendation by Cardinal Yeom Soo-jung
