We can trust the Bible because it is not merely a collection of human ideas, but the inspired and preserved Word of the living God. Its reliability is proven across history in several clear ways:
• Fulfilled Prophecy: The Scriptures contain hundreds of specific, detailed prophecies written centuries beforehand concerning kingdoms, cities, and the exact details of Jesus Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection. Every single one came to pass precisely as written.
• Historical and Archaeological Accuracy: As archaeologists uncover the ancient world, their discoveries continually confirm the people, places, rulers, and events recorded in Scripture. The Bible describes real history in real places.
• Perfect Internal Harmony: Written over a span of approximately 1,500 years by more than 40 different human writers across three continents, the Bible tells one unified, consistent story of redemption without contradiction.
• Its Life-Changing Power: Above all, God’s Word has the power to bring peace to broken hearts and transform lives. We hold to the Scriptures as our final, dependable authority for everything we believe and do.
