When we talk about God, it’s essential to recognize that the Bible is not just a single book, but a compilation of 66 distinct books written by the Almighty God Himself, which are compelling reasons to trust God in and of itself. God’s Voice consists of the Old Testament, representing the old covenant, and the New Testament, which embodies the new covenant brought through Him, and in Him through His only Son, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.
These testaments are like an amended Will with the New Testament being the amendment of God’s covenant through Christ. In this new covenant, we find the power to break the curses of sin, sickness, poverty, and to walk in the ongoing life of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.
1. God’s Magnificent Composition
The Bible’s remarkable composition is a testament to its divine origin. It was written over approximately 1500 years in three original languages: Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, by around 40 authors from diverse backgrounds. These authors ranged from the poor to the middle class, from royalty to government officials, from scholars to ordinary people. Yet, despite this diversity, all 66 books of the Bible come together in perfect unity and harmony, an incredible feat that defies human explanation.
2. Addressing the “Contradiction” Myth
Some skeptics claim that the Bible is full of contradictions, but this assertion doesn’t withstand scrutiny. When challenged to name a specific contradiction, most people struggle to pinpoint one that genuinely troubles them. In reality, the Word of God is free of contradictions. While there may be aspects of Scripture that some don’t fully understand, it remains without error.
3. The Living Word of God
From the very first word in Genesis to the final word in Revelation, the Bible is the Word of the living God. It’s not a stagnant or obsolete book—it’s alive and relevant for the 21st century. The Bible is a powerful, enduring source of truth, wisdom, and guidance for our lives today.
4. A Perfect Harmony of 1189 Chapters
Consider this: the Word of God, with its 1189 chapters, is a harmonious composition that spans centuries and covers various genres, including history, poetry, prophecy, and letters. It’s a remarkable feat of divine inspiration and preservation, a seamless tapestry of truth.
5. Embracing Faith Beyond Full Understanding
We often embrace things in life without fully comprehending them. Just think of the technology we use daily, from smartphones to cars, without a complete understanding of their inner workings. Similarly, you didn’t need to fully grasp every detail of the Bible to live by its truths. Faith is about trust, and faith in the Bible is rooted in the reliability of God’s Word.
Conclusion: Reasons to Trust God
While we cannot provide exhaustive answers to every aspect of the Bible’s authenticity in one message, I hope these reasons to trust God has piqued your curiosity. The Bible is provable, and it stands as a source of truth, wisdom, and life-changing power. As followers of Christ, we are called to be ready to give a defense of our faith with gentleness and respect. Let’s equip ourselves to share the compelling reasons to believe in the Bible with those around us. Trusting the Bible is not just an act of faith; it’s a confident reliance on the truth and wisdom it contains.
In His Service,
