Why should I trust what
the Bible says?

Did you know that the Bible is the world's ultimate all time number one best seller - there have been more copies produced than any other book in history.

We believe that the Bible is an amazing and unusual book. We believe the Bible was written by humans but that God made sure they wrote what he wanted. Below are some reasons why we think everyone should trust what is written in it...

When we are able to test the Bible’s historical accuracy we find it is reliable.
As archaeologists discover more about Bible times we discover that town names & places, tribal & individual names and customs all match with the Bible. In it we find an accurate description of daily life and the history of the time. If it's reliable on the things that we can prove maybe we should trust it on the things that we can't prove.

The Bible seems like it must have been written by one person.
The Bible was not written by 1 person but by 40 authors from many different walks of life, over about 1,500 years and yet it all agrees and ties up as if it is written by one person.

The Bible describes many of it’s heroes with plenty of faults.
Some of it's heroes doubt God, are fearful when they face battle, argue and make mistakes. A book that is truthful about it’s heroes can be trusted more than one that isn’t.

 

The Bible makes predictions about the future.
Some of these are still about the future and others have already been fulfilled. eg. The prophet Isaiah predicted that a king called Cyrus would give permission for the temple in Jerusalem to be rebuilt - However, when Isaiah said this the temple was already built! 100 years later it was destroyed and a King named Cyrus then came into power and gave the orders for it to be rebuilt!

The Bible changes people's lives.
People who read the Bible and believe what it says find that their lives really change.

There is no book like the Bible! If you have never read it please try reading it for yourself.

If you don't have a Bible you could borrow one from a library, buy one, or use an online Bible.
