If the Bible was written by many different people, then how does the Bible make sense as one connected story?

What is the true story of the whole world, and how do you fit into it?
God created a perfect world with his words. He created everything for humans to live well. Then, humans rebelled against God and sin entered into the world. Sin changed the world. God sent Jesus to come to the earth, live a perfect life, die on the cross, and then he was raised from the dead. He defeated death and sin. We fit in because we have the hope that Jesus will come back and make all things new one day.
