---The Reliability of Scripture ~~

--"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness."
---(2 Timothy 3:16)--

---Do you realize that there's no other document on earth that is as reliable as the Bible? History testifies to the dependability of Scripture with more than five thousand Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. There is also overwhelming confirmation of the Old Testament's reliability because of the 1947 discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Sir Frederic Kenyon, former director of the British Museum, affirmed, "The Christian can the whole Bible in his hand and say without hesitation that he holds in it the true Word of God."

Archaeology and eyewitness attestations by extra-biblical writers all verify the trustworthiness of the Bible. But the most compelling reason we can unquestionably trust it is because it is the revelation of God, which He Himself confirms through fulfilled prophecy.

Yes, Scripture was written over a time span of fifteen hundred years by forty Spirit-inspired authors. But through it all is the consistent, unchanging, supernatural voice of our mighty God, helping us to know Him intimately and speaking the truth that sets us free. We can trust His Word because He Himself is trustworthy.

--"Lord Jesus, thank You for speaking to me so powerfully through Your Word. Thank You, Lord, that You are the Word made flesh who dwelt among us (John 1:14).~~amen"

~~My hope is in Jesus because He has revealed Himself to me through Scripture.
