History revolves around Jesus.
Immediately after the Fall of mankind, God began “whispering” clues of our coming Savior (Genesis 3:15). These prophecies were extremely specific (e.g. Psalm 22), and Christ fulfilled every detail, fully accomplishing our salvation.
Christ's death and resurrection was the pivotal point of human history.
You could say that pre-Christ history prepared mankind for Jesus, helping us understand our need for a Savior. And post-Christ history prepares mankind for heaven or hell through belief or rejection of Jesus.
By divine inspiration, God gave us the Bible which points us to Christ and teaches us how to live.
Now think about this popular statement used to discredit Bible-believing Christians: “You're on the wrong side of history.”
When people say this, they mean:
It's true that Bible-believing Christians are on a different “side of history” than the majority of people in the world, but so is Jesus (Matthew 7:13-14).
And wherever Jesus stands is the right side of history, the right side of truth, and the only side that offers true grace and forgiveness.
