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?
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 its 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)
