THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIBLE
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE BIBLE?
1. THE BIBLE IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE
Hebrews 6:18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything He does.

Job 26:7 God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.

Psalm 12:6 The Lord’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.
3. THE BIBLE IS PROPHETICALLY ACCURATE
2 Peter 1:20-21 Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.
Matthew 26:56 But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Revelation 22:6 Then the angel said to me, “Everything you have heard and seen is trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who inspires his prophets, has sent his angel to tell his servants what will happen soon.”
4. THE BIBLE IS THEMATICALLY UNIFIED
Luke 24:27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

John 10:35a And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered…
Luke 11:28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”
6. THE BIBLE HAS SURVIVED ALL ATTACKS
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
1 Peter 1:24-25 As the Scriptures say, “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains forever.” And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
7. THE BIBLE HAS TRANSFORMING POWER
John 8:31-32 Jesus said to the people who believed in Him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
