Strictly speaking, the Bible is a book consisting statements of prophecies and declarations of past events and workings of God and men. Moreover, it contains words of angels and other beings not so familiar in everyday life of men today. Thus I can say that the Bible tells truths, a variety of truths.
Specifically speaking, the Bible is just intended for those who follow the orders and commandments of God as we can chronologically sum up in 1 Kings 8:61 (Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.) But it cannot be denied that God wants all people to be saved from sinning. So he covenanted the new testament for the entire race of men as you can hear popularly John 3:16 (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.)
The Bible is used by different religious organizations which claim they are of Christ or of God in the Bible. And the Bible is used by different anti-God organizations too for the purpose of twisting the message of God written in the Bible. Lastly the Bible is the best merchandise of most men.
