My Top 6 Reasons to Believe the Bible is True – Part II

In today’s devotion we will explore 3 more reasons why the Bible is the ultimate book of truth.

Reason #4  –  Unity

Imagine one book containing 66 books, written over 1,500 years, by 40 different writers, living in separate times and in various countries, with little opportunity for collaboration, yielding one magnificent unified story of God’s love for His creation. The Bible has a single divine author with a single unifying message culminating in God’s wonderful plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. According to Tim Harris: “No group of humans could have successfully pulled off such a diverse, perfectly harmonious collection of writings without supernatural assistance, especially considering that most of the writers did not know one another (i.e., Old Testament writers versus New Testament).”1

Reason #5  –  Global Influence

Just listen to how Whitney T. Kuniholm, shares how the Bible has influenced our world: “The Bible has had a greater influence on the laws, art, ethics, music and literature of world civilization than any other book in history. Can you think of one that even comes close?”2 And when it comes to spiritual influence and the ability to touch lives R. A. Torrey shares this beautiful thought: “There is more power in that little book to save men, and purify, gladden and beautify their lives, than in all other literature put together – more power to lift men up to God. A stream never rises higher than its source, and a book that has a power to lift men up to God that no other book has, must have come down from God in a way that no other book was.”3

Reason #6  –  It Changed My Life

I believe the Bible is totally true because it promised to radically change my life and it delivered big time on that promise. The central message of the Bible is that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. The Bible goes on to share that if I repent of my sins and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior that I will become a new person in Christ. Well, back on October 12, 1981, I said the famous sinner’s prayer and my life has never been the same since. Jesus has radically changed my desires, given me great peace and joy, and given me a brand new heart – all of which the Bible promises to those who let Jesus run their lives. Everything the Bible says about my human nature and now my new nature is spot on.

If you are reading this devotion and don’t know Jesus I challenge you to put the Bible to the test by reading it and asking Jesus into your heart – you won’t be disappointed.
