---WHY BELIEVE THE BIBLE?
--"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." ---(Psalm 119:105) - 
~~~We should believe the Bible because it is the Word of God. There is no other book in the world like the Bible. It is the only book authorized by God as His direct revelation to man. The Bible consists of 66 books written over about 15 centuries by nearly 40 different writers, yet it does not contradict itself. Holy men were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Holy Scriptures. Many textbooks are outdated within ten years, but the Word of God is always up-to-date. Emmanuel, God with us. It is new every morning. The Bible is flawlessly accurate. For example, the Old Testament contains numerous predictions about Jesus that were fulfilled in exact detail in the New Testament. The Bible is also a masterpiece in literature; it has long been the best-selling book in the world. Concerning the majestic language of the Bible, one writer asked these questions: "What poetry can be compared with the Psalms of David, with the Song of Solomon, or with the prophecies of Isaiah? ... Or where is there a sentence like the following: 'And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away'? " The Bible has stood the test of all ages. Scoffers have tried for centuries to destroy or disprove the Bible, but they have never succeeded. It transforms people as Psalm 19:7 says: "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul." How does the Bible affect us? Do we spend much time reading it? Have we allowed the Word of God to grip our heart and change our behavior? We must love it, learn from it, and live by it, for someday we will be judged by the Word of God. ~~ ~~'Oh wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! True wisdom its pages unfold; And though we may read them a thousand times o'er, They never, no never, grow old!' ---BSW/CM~--"GOD WITH US" // (lyric video) Terrian //< https://youtu.be/XKjYHBLrW8s> ~~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
