INSPIRATION: Can I TRUST the Bible?

The Bible is the most translated & most read book in the world 2 TIM. 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” PS.119:86 “All of your commands can be trusted”

How do I know I can trust the Bible?

I CAN TRUST THE BIBLE BECAUSE… 1.IT IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE! GOD CANNOT LIE! HEB. 6:18 “It is impossible for God to lie!” PS. 33:4 “The Word of the Lord is right and true.” 1.Most of the Bible is from eyewitness accounts 2.Archeology always confirms the Bible eventually 3.The Scriptures have been copied with extreme care!

2. IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE! PS.148:5-6 (NLT) Let every created thing give praise to the Lord, for he issued his command, and they came into being. He established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.” For Thousands of years everyone believed…

The earth was flat! Yet, 2,600 yrs. ago Isaiah said ISA.40:22 “God is enthroned above the sphere of the earth” The earth has to be held up! JOB 26:7 (NLT) “God stretches the sky over empty space & hangs the earth on nothing!”

The number of stars could be counted – 150 BC – Hipparchus announced 1,022 stars in the universe! – 150 AD – Ptolemy concluded 1,026 (found 4 more) Yet 2,600 yrs ago JER. 33:22 :”The number of stars are infinite” Too much blood made you sick. – “Must bleed people to keep them alive!” – Science didn’t know until 1628 that blood circulates! LEV. 17:11 (NLT) “The LIFE of every creature is IN its blood!”

25% of the population of Europe died of the bubonic plague in Middle Ages – They didn’t know the value of quarantining the sick! But Long before science discovered germs, God said… LEV.13:4 (NLT) "…Put an infected person in quarantine for seven days. PR. 30:5 “Every word of God is flawless.” PS. 12:6 “The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay and purified seven times!”

3.IT IS PROPHETICALLY ACCURATE! Predicted 1000s of events that happened in history 2 PET. 1:21 “No prophecy ever originated from humans. Instead, it was given by the Holy Spirit as humans spoke under God's direction.” MT. 26:56 “But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” REV. 22:6 “The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord …sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

4. IT IS THEMATICALLY UNIFIED LK. 24:27 “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus explained to them what was said in ALL the Scriptures concerning himself.” JN. 5:39 "You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!”

5. IT IS CONFIRMED BY JESUS MT. 5:18 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter not the least stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished!” Luke 11:28 Jesus said: “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

6. IT HAS SURVIVED ALL ATTACKS MT. 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” 1 PET. 1:24-25 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.”

7.IT HAS TRANSFORMING POWER JN.8:31-32 Jesus said “If you continue in my Word, then you are my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free!” WHAT WILL BE THE AUTHORITY IN YOUR LIFE? ROM. 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
