If the Bible is a direct message from God, it would be to our best interest to take heed to what it is telling us. Not only should we read and study it, we should also do what it tells us to do.
There are many good reasons why we believe the Bible is from God. Here are some things for our consideration.
God does not cover up the sins of His saints. The Bible shows their bad sides as well as their good ones. A mere human author would not do this.
God tells us He gave His message to “holy men” to relate to others. God does not lie. “Holy men of God” wrote what God related to them so we would know Him and His will for our lives.
All the prophecies of the Bible have been literally fulfilled or will be literally fulfilled. With over 300 references to Jesus' first coming in the Old Testament Scriptures that tell everything from where He was to be born to His resurrection from the dead, which were given to us hundreds of years before Jesus was born, the chances of all of these 300 prophecies being fulfilled by chance would be on the order of 3 followed by 623 zeros. Only God could have known all of these details about Jesus' first coming. This is a very good confirmation that the Bible is the Word of God.
Much of what is in the Bible are direct quotes of God. Such expressions as, “the Word of the Lord came to me, thus says the Lord, the Lord said,” etc, are common in the Bible.
Scientific expressions in the Bible are true to the facts. These facts are told at a time when the people who wrote them were in a culture that would not have known them. Genesis 1 and 2 is a good example of this. The question is, “Are we going to accept God's record of His creations or the lies of the 'science falsely so-called' crowd?”
Even though there were over 40 people who wrote what God told them, there is no real conflict between what they say. All give us the same message.
Jesus is everything the Bible declares Him to be. To find out about Jesus, your best source is the Christian's New Testament Bible. The Bible account of Jesus agrees with secular history.
People who do what the Bible tells them, live better than those who follow some other path. Those who do what the Bible tells them to do live a richer, fuller and sweeter life than those who leave God out of their lives. God speaks to people in all generations through the Bible. The Bible keeps us from going astray into many things that would harm us and others.
