“The Bible is the Word of God”

“Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise.  Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse, because it’s built on rock.  But anyone who hears my teachings and ignores it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.  When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will fall with a mighty crash.”                                                                          

                                                                                (Matthew 7:24-27)

 

I.  Is the Bible historically accurate?

     1.  The Bible in O.T. makes 3 dozen references to an enemy nation of God’s people called the Hittites.

      2.  The Bible mentions that a man named Belshazar was King of Babylon.  Historians have contended over the years that a man named Nabonitis was king at the time.

     3.  The Bible talks about David hundreds of times.   

    4.   The Bible talks about a man named Joshua blowing trumpets and bringing down the walls of Jericho.

II.  Is the Bible inspired?

    1.  There are prophecies in the O.T. made about Jesus Christ.

    2.  The prophet Isaiah in the O.T. writing in 700 B.C., names Cyrus as the king who will command the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.

    3.  The O.T. book of Ezekiel predicted in 592 B.C. that the city of Tyre would be utterly destroyed and no city would ever be built on the land again.

 “No prophecy ever came from what a person wanted to say, but people led by the Holy Spirit spoke words from God.”

                                                                                             (2 Peter 1:21)

 III.  Is the Bible life changing?

 “All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

                                                                                    (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
