Why can we trust the Bible?

The 66 books of the Bible were written by about 40 different writers, who lived in different countries, spoke different languages and came from different backgrounds. The writers included a king, a doctor, a herdsman, a tax collector, a theologian, a scribe, a fisherman, etc., and their writings spread over a period of 1500 years, so there could be no collusion or communication. Think of it, 40 different writers, spread over 55 generations, producing 66 books; and yet when these books are placed together there is a perfect unity and harmony about them, and they all fit together like a jigsaw.

There is not one single proved inaccuracy in the whole Bible (KJV). The Bible is accurate historically, geographically, genealogically, scientifically, psychologically, typologically, and verbally. The revelation of truth we have in the Bible is progressively given, and by the time we get to the Book of Revelation we have a perfect and complete body of truth.

In the 66 books there is everything we need to know about ourselves, sin, death, heaven, human destiny, human relations. It is a record of historical fact that was written by men who were moved (inspired) by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of God. Above all, it is about God and His nature, about Christ and His love, and about His redemption plan for us.

The Bible is a miracle book that has no equal. The question should actual be, "How can we NOT trust the Bible?"

The facts above only touches on the physical and practical facts of the bible. These facts cannot even compare to the incredible content it contains; Content that accurately predicts the future and provides context to your life. Content that is spiritual in dimension. Content that can save your soul for eternity and bring you close in fellowship with your Creator. Content that tells the greatest single act of love and redemption that the world needs to know. God’s inspired Word! There is NOTHING in this world that comes close to it!

1 Cor.2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
