What is the purpose of the W-rd of G-d?

Some might say.... Bible - Basic. Instructions. Before. Leaving. Earth
But the truth is that the purpose of the Bible is to
Bring us back unto Himself through the revelation of the WHO HE IS!
He is the Mashiach, who is Salvation which means Yeshua which is translated to english as Jesus. The promise to Abraham is HUGE! And parsha Vayera meaning (And He Appeared) is all about this.
Genesis 18:1 TLV
Then Adonai appeared to him at Mamre’s large trees while he was sitting in the entrance of his tent during the heat of the day.
And Adonai Appeared to him! but when he lifted up His eyes, he saw three men standing right by Him. Clearly, we see in all 4 men, and some might even say that the 3 together were able to potray a 4th, but i dont want to get into that. What is written is that there were 3 men that were standing by him… standing by who? the One who had apeared - Adonai.
Abraham is quick to draw to the revelation of the L-rd, and He bows before Him and asks if he (abraham) can serve the L-rd.
Oh G-d I love the G-d’s response… check out what G-d said in response to Abraham asking if he could serve Him....
Genesis 18:5 TLV
And let me bring a bit of bread so that you can refresh yourselves—then you can pass on—since you have passed by your servant. They said, “Do just as you have said.”
THEY SAID!
“Do just as you have said”
Ahhh! This is incredible! Abraham responds in a hurry, because he doesnt want to lose out in serving G-d who had appeared to Him and responded through the 3 representations and who He is.
Let’s get three people up here right now, and Gabriel you be the fourth, because you are the biggest. and on a count of three we will all point point, because we are jewish and like to point…, and say “Do as you have said.
1....
2....
3.... (“Do as you have said”).
Ahhh, this is scary isn’t it! If I were Abraham, I would be in a hurry too!!
So Abraham quickly gets Sarah working and he himself runs to get a fat young ox, and gets his servant cooking while he makes some fresh ox milk and sets it before them. And Abraham serves them, and while they are eating by the tree, he stands there by them… I can see Abraham looking at them like a chef is looking at the food critic hoping that they would like it and bless their restaurant with a Michelin star. But for Abraham it was different.
Abraham was so focused on serving G-d, that nothing else mattered. He got the whole kitchen cooking at the sight of who G-d was/is. And what’s so incredible is that G-d gives us a choice to start the fire or not. Our relationship with G-d is so important, but people need to understand how important it is.
With G-d we have a choice, but without G-d there is no choice. You cannot choose for yourself when you are in service to the world, but when you come to revelation of who G-d is, you have the ability to have a choice.
In life, G-d reveals Himself to us, and in so we are given choice: Choose to serve G-d, or just continue living how you are living.
Let me tell you what it is like to continue living without G-d.
.....
There’s nothing to say, because without G-d, there is no life!
And even if somehow we existed without G-d, what choice would we have in life.
Without the revelation of G-d we would be inept, we would have no choice, we would be prone to build for ourselves images to look up to, and we would naturally fall under the rule of those that are greater than us in the earth.
G-d says,
I have given you the authority to overthrow kingdoms
However, you my friends don’t want to overthrow kingdoms, you want to be under them.
Todays world we are presented with kingdoms in this world that are built upon: Traditions, Customs, and we have kingdoms built upon the voice of what seems to be great people
These kingdoms, in the standards of the world have been knit together well to not give people a choice to follow their G-d given capability.
