Hopefully, we have
established as a fact that God exists. That being the case, how are we, as mere
human beings, supposed to come to a knowledge of Him? Did God just create us and
then leave us to our own devices, or did He leave a guide book for us? He did
indeed leave a guide book for us. We call it the Bible. The critic will say that
it is easy to claim that the Bible is from God but it is impossible to prove.
Therefore, let us answer the question; How can we know
that the Bible is, as it claims, the very Word of God?
Amazing Unity
We can know that the
Bible is the Word of God by its amazing unity. A
fact that many people do not realize is that the Bible was written by about 40
different men over a span of about 1400 years. They came from many different
backgrounds and occupations, and yet their writings always agree with one
another perfectly. There are absolutely no disagreements or contradictions in
any of the 66 books that make up the Bible. That type of unity took divine
guidance.
Scientific Foreknowledge
Another proof that the
Bible is the Word of God is that it contains scientific
foreknowledge. Many times, Biblical writers wrote of things that they
could not have possible known without divine help. For instance,
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and
the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as
a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah
40:22).
The word that Isaiah uses for circle, literally means sphere. Isaiah
said that the earth was round! However, this was not commonly believed until
about 2000 years later when Columbus sailed around the world. How did Isaiah
come to this knowledge? It was given to him by God.
Space does not permit us to
mention all of the instances of scientific foreknowledge in the Bible (and there
are quite a few). If you would like more information
get in touch with us and we
will be glad to help.
