How Do You View the Bible?
Would you say it is . . .
a book of human wisdom?
a book of myths and legends?
the Word of God?
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. Over 700 years in advance, the Bible foretold that the promised Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, a small town in the land of Judah. (Micah 5:2) Where was Jesus actually born? Why, in that very town!—Matthew 2:1-6.
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.
