How do we know the Bible is true?

"There have been hundreds of books written on the subject of the evidences of the divine inspiration of the Bible, and these evidences are many and varied.  Most people today, unfortunately, have not read any of these books.  In fact, few have even read the Bible itself!  Thus, many people tend to go along with the popular delusion that the Bible is full of mistakes and is no longer relevant to our modern world.


The Bible writers claimed repeatedly that they were transmitting the very Word of God, infallible and authoritative in the highest degree.  This is an amazing thing for any writer to say, and if the forty or so men who wrote the Scriptures were wrong in these claims, then they must have been lying, or insane, or both.  But, on the other hand, we have the greatest and most influential book of the ages, containing the most beautiful literature and the most perfect moral code ever devised.


If one will seriously investigate these Biblical evidences, he will find that their claims of divine inspiration (stated over 3,000 times, in various ways) were amply justified.  The remarkable evidence of fulfilled prophecy is just one case in point.  Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled, specifically and meticulously, often long after the prophetic writer had passed away.


There is no other book, ancient or modern, like this.  The historical accuracy of the Scriptures is likewise in a class by itself, far superior to the written records of Egypt, Assyria and other early nations.  Archaeological confirmations of the Biblical record have been almost innumerable in the last century.


Another striking evidence of divine inspiration is found in the fact that many principles of modern science were recorded as facts of nature in the Bible long before scientists confirmed them experimentally.
It is also significant that no real mistake has ever been demonstrated in the Bible, in science, in history, or in any other subject.
Although the Bible is a collection of 66 books, written by 40 or more different men over a period of 1400 years, it is clearly one Book, with perfect unity and consistency throughout.


The Bible is unique in terms of its effect on individual men and on the history of nations.  It is the all-time best seller, appealing both to hearts and minds.  No other book has ever held such universal appeal nor produced such lasting effects."

2 Timothy 3:15-17 - "From childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.


Psalm 119:160 - "The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever."
