There is a common saying today used by unbelievers to reject Jesus Christ and all things God. It is, ”I don’t believe everything in the Bible because it was written by man, and man is fallible. It’s not the word of God, it’s the word of man.” My reply is, “the dictionary was written by man and you believe that. God used several men to write the 66 different books of the Bible, but it was given through Devine inspiration. We read it with faith. You read the dictionary with faith, so why not the Bible?”
I’ll tell you why. “It’s because the Bible contains life changing truth. It reveals the sin in our lives and the error of our ways. Much of it is a warning. When we come upon a stop sign on a roadway, we stop. Why? Because it’s a warning. One which could save our life if we obey it and stop. Or if we ignore it we could end up injured or worse.”
It’s better to have faith and believe so that when we meet God, we’re welcomed into heaven. If it’s wrong then our faith was still not in vain because the Bible give us life changing instructions on living a happy fulfilled life. It’s a win win!
The Apostle Peter tells of a life changing experience that he, James, and John had which was recorded in the Bible.
“After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one foryou, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.“ (Mark 9:2-8)
God the Father confirmed again who Jesus was, to three witnesses. Believe it.
