WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
“All
Scripture is inspired of God.”—2 Timothy 3:16, New World
Translation.
WHAT THAT CAN MEAN FOR YOU
Satisfying
answers to life’s big questions.—Proverbs 2:1-5.
Reliable
guidance for day-to-day living.—Psalm 119:105.
Real
hope for the future.—Romans 15:4.
CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
Yes,
for at least three reasons:
·
Amazing harmony. The Bible was written over a period of 1,600 years by
some 40 different people. Most of them never met one another. Yet, the entire
book is harmonious, with one central theme!
·
Honest history. Secular historians seem quick to cover over the defeats
of their people. In contrast, Bible writers candidly recorded both their
personal failings and those of their nation.—2 Chronicles 36:15, 16; Psalm 51:1-4.
·
Reliable prophecy. The Bible foretold the destruction of the ancient city of
Babylon some 200 years in advance. (Isaiah 13:17-22) It revealed not only the
manner in which Babylon would fall but even the name of its conqueror!—Isaiah 45:1-3.
Numerous
other Bible prophecies were also fulfilled down to the smallest detail. But is
that not what we would expect of the Word of God?—2 Peter 1:21.
TO THINK ABOUT
How
can God’s Word improve your life?
The
Bible answers that question at ISAIAH 48:17, 18 and 2 TIMOTHY 3:16, 17.
