As Christians, we believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and a reliable source of truth. However, it is common for people to question the reliability of the Bible, especially when they consider the fact that it was written over thousands of years by multiple different authors and that there seems to be a gap between the Old Testament and the New Testament. In this blog post, we will explore some of the reasons why we can trust the Bible and how it has been preserved over time.

  1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

One of the main reasons why we can trust the Bible is because it is the inspired Word of God. In 2 Timothy 3:16, it says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” This means that the Bible is not simply the words of human beings, but rather it is God’s revelation of Himself and His will to us. The Bible is not just a book of wisdom or a collection of stories, but it is a source of truth that comes from God Himself.

  1. The Bible has been preserved over time.

Another reason why we can trust the Bible is because it has been carefully preserved over time. While the Bible was written over a period of thousands of years by multiple different authors, the original manuscripts (called the autographs) were very carefully copied and passed down through the generations. There are many ancient copies of the Bible that have been found, and these copies are in remarkable agreement with one another. This indicates that the Bible has been accurately preserved over time.

  1. The canon of the Bible was carefully considered.

The canon of the Bible refers to the books that were accepted as part of the Bible. There were many different writings that were circulating in the early church, and it was important to determine which ones were truly inspired by God. The canon of the Bible was not settled until much later, but this process was carefully considered and guided by the Holy Spirit. The books of the Bible were accepted because they were believed to be inspired by God and because they were widely accepted by the early church.

  1. The Bible has stood the test of time.

Another reason why we can trust the Bible is because it has stood the test of time. The Bible has been around for thousands of years and has been translated into many different languages. Despite the many attempts to discredit or destroy the Bible, it has remained a powerful and influential force in the world. The Bible has inspired countless people and has had a profound impact on culture, art, literature, and history. Its teachings and message have withstood the test of time and continue to be relevant and applicable to our lives today.

In conclusion, the Bible is a trustworthy source of truth because it is the inspired Word of God, it has been preserved over time, its canon was carefully considered, and it has stood the test of time. We can have confidence in the reliability and authority of the Bible, and we can trust in its message and teachings as we seek to follow God and live according to His will.
