Can we trust the Bible?
Ultimately a belief in the Bible is a matter of Faith…
…but it’s not a matter of blind faith.
There is a vast array of evidence to support a firm belief in the trustworthiness of the Bible.
The Bible is a book that welcomes scrutiny and is not afraid of any honest question… the human
authors of the Bible have clearly stated they did not follow cunningly devised fables, and that the
events recorded in the Bible are based on many infallible proofs.
<see Acts 1:3 and 2 Peter 1:16>
The Bible is a totally unique book.
† It is full of prophecies that were exactly fulfilled – just as they were foretold.
† It was written by over 40 men in different countries and in different eras. It was written in
3 different languages over a time span of 1,600 years. And yet, for all that, it tells one unified story.
What other book is like that?
† The Bible has never gone out of date – it speaks to people just as relevantly today as it ever has.
† The Bible has transformed the lives of people of every age, of every circumstance, and of every
race. There's no culture on earth where the Bible has failed to stir people to turn to God.
† The Bible has inspired people to great acts of love, compassion and charity. It was the Bible
that inspired many of the founders of the great movements to abolish slavery, grant civil rights,
build hospitals, found schools, feed the poor, and alleviate poverty.
† The Bible is a living book that some people fear and that others would die for. It has survived
centuries of effort to burn and banish it.
The Bible stands utterly unique and totally unparalleled in the history of the world.
