| Is the Bible God's Word? |
| |
| Jesus spoke of a day of coming judgment when He said, "Then |
| they [the wicked] will go away to eternal punishment, but the |
| righteous to eternal life" (Matthew 25:46). Because mankind |
| is destined for a literal heaven or hell there must be a |
| Bible. In order for God to pass judgment on us He must have |
| an objective standard by which to judge--the Bible is that |
| standard. |
| |
| The Bible is God's Holy Word, perfect and without error. If |
| it were not, it would be no standard at all. Paul testified |
| that, "All Scripture is God-breathed..." (2 Timothy 3:16). It |
| was written by God through men who, "...spoke from God as they |
| were carried along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21). The |
| Bible is comprehensible. What good would a perfect standard |
| be if no one could understand it? Also, the Bible is not |
| "open" to various interpretations or it ceases to be a |
| reliable standard. Each verse of the Bible has only one |
| correct interpretation but may have many applications. |
| |
| In Revelation 19:13 Jesus Christ is called the Word of God. |
| The Bible is His word to mankind. Jesus said, "...whoever |
| hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life |
| ...the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that |
| very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" |
| (John 5:24; 12:48). The Bible was given to show us the way to |
| obtain eternal life; "...take to heart what is written in it, |
| because the time is near" (Revelation 1:3). |
