Is the Bible really True?
Many people today wonder, “Is the Bible really true?” The answer is a resounding, “Yes!”
The Bible is one of the most well-documented manuscripts in history. Most of the books of the New Testament were probably written within 35 years of the events they relate. If the writers had tried to pull the wool over their readers’ eyes, there were plenty of eyewitnesses still living who could have said, “That’s not what happened!”
The apostle Peter was well aware of the influence of eyewitnesses. In Acts 10:37, he said to his listeners, “You know what has happened throughout Judea . . . How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth . . . We are witnesses of everything he did.”
The Bible was not written simply to appease those who believe in Jesus Christ. The Bible is a historically accurate and well-documented collection of inspired writing–a unified witness to God’s remarkable presence in this world. So the next time someone asks us about the Bible’s reliability, let’s answer with confidence. God’s Word is true yesterday, today, and forever.
