The Bible has been proven to survive through many attempts to burn them, make it against the law to have one, and satanic warfare to take away a person’s desire to read God’s Word as countless family Bibles collect dust on the coffee tables around the world. However, heaven and earth as we know it will pass away, but God’s Words will never pass away (Matthew 24:35).
The Bible has been proven true through ancient manuscripts found over the years. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the most famous, and they align with the teachings and admonition in our current Bible. People love to point out “errors” in the Bible, but they can only refer to grammatical differences, a misspelled word here and there, or similar discrepancies.
Biblical Truth is the same in ancient copies as are proclaimed in modern copies, regardless of word order or the use of modern languages. The veracity of the Bible is also proven by historical and scientific proofs, as well as fulfilled prophetic passages:
· The historical books of the Old Testament align with historical documents available from ancient times. In fact, the Bible has named historical figures that were originally thought to be non-existent until archeological evidence proved that Bible history is even more accurate than anything the unbelieving world recorded.
· NASA and other scientific institutions proved the accuracy of Biblical accounts even as early as the book of Genesis and creation. They discover issues that unravel long-term mysteries, and remove much confusion about Genesis, proving the Bible to be scientifically accurate when read in the context of its original Hebrew language.
· Biblical prophecies quench the human need to understand the future by confirming the past and by predicting current and future events (Deuteronomy 18:15-18, Chapters 28-30; Acts 3:22, 23; Psalms 2, 16, 22 and 40, 45, 72, 110)
In today’s deteriorating political, moral, scientific, and secular climate the Bible accurately predicts what is happening now as the result of a lifestyle devoid of Biblical character and pursuits.
There is an undeniable escalation in a record-breaking moral decline, a lack of respect for human life and rights, and increases in pestilences and natural disasters in our world today (Amos 3:7; Isaiah 7:14; Genesis 3:15; Matthew 1:22-23; Luke 1:31-35; Genesis 4:4; Hebrews 1:1; 2 Peter 1:19; Romans 15:4).
Many people go to psychic individuals to find out their future; however, the Bible proves that mankind does have a future that lasts throughout eternity. Our choice to believe in Jesus Christ as our lone Savior and way to heaven is our only guarantee of spending eternity in God’s presence (John 3:16-18).
Prayer:
Father God, thank You for the hope we have through these changing times in which we live. The corrosion of our society and the way of life we once enjoyed in America is distressing to say the least. However, possessing an increasingly intimate unity with our Creator, Savior, and soon coming King, as we consult You each moment of our day and walk in Your will for our life, gives us peace and joy.
Thank You for Your Word that gives us hope in verses such as: Luke 12:32; Matthew 6:31-33; Hebrews 11:1; Romans 5:15; Colossians 1:26-27; Psalm 32:8; Psalm 119:114; Jeremiah 29:11; Romans 8:38-39; 1 Peter 1:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-10; Isaiah 9:7; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18.
Thought for the Day:
God rejoices over His children with singing, and His hope fills us with joy and peace when we believe in Jesus’ sacrificial atonement for our sins by the power of the Holy Spirit within us; He advises us to receive Biblical counsel and instruction so we can be wise and obtain comfort in these later days of this present world.
- Zephaniah 3:17; Romans 15:13; Psalm 147:11; Proverbs 19:20-21
