Major Theme of the Bible

[Lafon]

Perhaps this issue has been addressed previously on this forum (if so I was unable to locate it), but even so, I believe its relevance and importance is worthy of examination, and perhaps the thoughts and opinions of others could serve to increase our knowledge of the Bible.

I've been pondering these thoughts (for quite some period of time) concerning the "Major Theme" of the Bible; what one word might be most fitting to describe that "theme," and where might one locate this answer within the context of the Bible itself (that is to say, within the context of what scriptural passage(s) is this "theme" revealed).

First, I think it best to attain an understanding of everything which the English word "theme" implies: upon discovery we read that it is defined as that which relates the main idea, moral, or message, of an essay, paragraph, movie, or book. The message may be about life, society, or human nature. Themes often explore timeless and universal ideas and are almost always implied rather than stated explicitly. Theme is also defined as a word which describes a specific subject or topic on which a person speaks, writes, or thinks in a particular way; an idea that recurs in or pervades a work of art or literature; and, an essay on a set subject.

Retaining this definition at the forefront of our thoughts, then what singular word do you believe best describes (i.e., gives a detailed account in words) the "Major Theme" of the Bible; and, what passage(s) best connotes (i.e., implies or suggests in addition to its primary or literal meaning) this significant fact?

In your response, please provide a brief summary of the manner in which you believe the scriptural passage(s) you've chosen, best supports that "singular word" which describes the "Major Theme" of the Bible.

For "openers," allow me to acknowledge that the One who expresses this "theme" is none other than God, our Heavenly Creator, so with this being said, the issue being addressed is not the "Author" of the Bible, rather the specific, unique, and peculiar "theme" to which its contents apply.
