The Book You Can Trust: Trust The God Who Performs His Word
John Barnett
May I impress upon your heart that the book you hold in your hands is unlike any other in the Universe? And with that truth deeply upon our hearts, in the days ahead, shouldn't we treat it differently, read it diligently, wait before it expectantly and from it learn to live triumphantly?
There are 7 reasons why I believe the Bible is true:
First, I trust God's Word because my Lord JESUS CHRIST trusted this book as God's Word.
The most compelling reason of all is this first one. Jesus authenticated and affirmed that the book we call the Bible is the very revelation of God's Word. He used it as the foundation for His teaching, quoted from it and ascribed to the Bible His divine imprimatur.
