The Bible is true because it is the inspired, inerrant Word of God. Its accuracy, consistency, fulfilled prophecy, and transforming power affirm its divine origin. Scripture testifies to itself as truth:
“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” (John 17:17)
The Bible was written by over 40 authors across 1,500 years on three continents, yet it maintains perfect unity in theme and message. This consistency cannot be explained by human effort alone:
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” (2 Timothy 3:16)
Prophecy is one of the strongest evidences of Scripture’s truth. Detailed predictions made centuries in advance have been fulfilled precisely, especially regarding Christ:
“To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” (Acts 10:43)
Jesus Himself affirmed the truth and authority of the Old Testament:
“For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:18)
The Bible has also proven historically and archaeologically reliable. Discoveries have continually confirmed its descriptions of places, events, and people.
Its power to transform lives across centuries and cultures further proves its divine source:
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.” (Hebrews 4:12)
Peter emphasized that the written Word is more certain than even eyewitness experience:
“We also have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place.” (2 Peter 1:19)
Ultimately, belief in the truth of the Bible is a matter of faith grounded in evidence. Jesus said:
“He who is of God hears God’s words.” (John 8:47)
Those who are truly seeking truth will find the Bible to be God’s faithful, unchanging Word.
