2. 2 Evidences For God and His Word Psalm 19

3. 3

4. 4 Psalm 19 “ The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. … ”

5. 5 “ … Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. … ”

6. 6 Psalm 19 “ …They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer. ”

7. 7 Romans 1:20 “ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. ” John 7:17 “ If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. ”

9. 9 Proof Of The Existence of God "Cause and Effect." –H–Hebrews 3:4 Man is a moral creature. –H–He has within himself a likeness to God. Genesis 1:26 Man is a worshipping creature. Hebrews 3:4 “ For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. ” Psalm 19:1-3 “ The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. ” Psalm 139:14 “ I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. ” Genesis 1:26 “ Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. ” James 3:9 “ With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; ”

10. 10 Proof Of The Existence of God God has revealed Himself. –“–“Natural" revelation. Acts 14:15-17; 17:23-29 –“–“Special" revelation. Where did I come from? – Genesis 2:7 Why am I here? – Ecclessiastes 12:13-14 Where am I going? – Hebrews 9:27 Acts 14:15-17 “ and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, Who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. "In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways; and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." ” Genesis 1:1 “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ” Genesis 1:31 “ God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. ” Genesis 1:26-28 “ Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth. ” Hebrews 5:12-14 “ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. ” Genesis 2:7 “ Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. ” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “ The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil. ” Hebrews 9:27 “ And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, ” John 5:28-29 “ Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. ”

12. 12 Proof That the Bible is the Word of God “Can’t prove the Bible by the Bible"

13. 13 Does the Bible harmonize with the facts of science? The writers of the Bible wrote of the earth being round. –I–Isaiah 40:22 Ancient people believed there were only a few stars in the heavens. –G–Genesis 15:5 Isaiah 40:22 “ It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. ” Proverbs 8:27 “ When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep, ” Genesis 15:5 “ And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be. ” Genesis 22:17 “ indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. ” Jeremiah 33:22 “ As the host of heaven cannot be counted and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me. ”

14. 14 Does it harmonize with history? Herodotus denied that which Moses wrote about Joseph in Gen. 40:9-14 Skeptics contended Luke made a mistake styling Sergius Paulus a "proconsul." Sir William Ramsay “Luke is a historian of the first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy, he is possessed of the true historic sense...in short, this author should be placed along with the greatest of historians.”

15. 15 "Does it harmonize with itself?" The harmony and unity of the Bible is proof of its divine origin. –2–2 Peter 1:21 –N–Not only does the Bible not contradict science, history, or itself, but its fruits show it to be from God. 2 Peter 1:21 “ for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. ”
