Someone near and dear to me once asked: "How do I know that what's in the Bible is really true?" It was a fair and sincere question. I gave an answer at that time and it proved to be satisfying to his young, inquisitive mind. Since that day, I have further pondered how to fully answer that question for others. There are many "proofs" that having faith in God, in Jesus Christ - the Son of God, and in His teachings is not a blind and reckless choice.
Two questions to explore in our spiritual journey are:
Does unchanging, objective TRUTH exist ?
How can we know for sure?
In order to satisfactorily answer these questions, we must examine the evidence. But,
before we do, let me say that we all have a free will. We can choose to believe the evidence or not.... But we owe it to ourselves to, at least, consider it.
"Why should I consider and examine the evidence?"
A big reason is that the scriptures give us many promises regarding our lives. If we discover that the Bible is true, we can trust in & put our confidence in these promises and the entire message.
One of the promises is: "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:32 (HCSB).
Another promise is: "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."- Matthew 11:28 (HCSB)
