Question of the Week: How do we know the Bible is the Word of God?
Verses: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Daniel 9:24-26, Romans 15:4
Any book can make claims about itself, but how can we confirm the Bible is actually the Word of God? The Past, the Present, and the Future. The Past is referring to it accurately recording history in the way we’d expect God to be able to. The Bible was held to the strictest standards historically and to this day remains the anvil that has worn out many skeptics hammers. The more we dig archaeologically, the more they find that affirms what the Bible has claimed for centuries. The Present is referring to it remaining doctrinally consistent on the most controversial subjects known to man despite being written by 40 different authors over 1500 years of time. You can have 4 different authors within 15 years of time and they will differ on even minor issues. Yet beyond time there seemed to be a source these men were recording that went beyond their opinions. And finally the Future is referring to predictive prophecy. The Bible almost shows off in dedicating a quarter of itself to talking about things that hadn’t happened at the time they were written. The detail and opportunity for error are constantly presented to it yet it always manages somehow to get it right when it’s talking about things that haven’t happened yet. Because it is historically accurate, doctrinally consistent, and speaks of things beyond the limits of time, we can conclude based on the evidence that the Bible is the word of God.
