God Exists & the Bible is His Book—Part I: Commitment
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the Word of God shall stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8
“For verily I say unto you, ‘Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, ‘til all be fulfilled.’ ” Matthew 5:18
The Bible has been banned, scoffed, ridiculed. It’s been made illegal. It was outlawed by kings. Scholars have mocked it. But it has survived. It not only survives…it thrives! The Bible is the #1 best seller of all time. There is no way on earth to explain it. Which is exactly the explanation: it isn’t from earth. It’s God’s. It’s the treasure map that leads us to the Eternal Treasure. How often do you read it? Do you really think as you read it or just skim over a few sentences? Don’t miss the treasure awaiting you.
How would God confirm His existence? How would He prove the Bible is His personal book to you? He would give us facts that couldn’t otherwise exist and He would personally sign His Book. He has. His facts, and signature, consist of irrefutable proof beyond man’s capability to forge, even with the most modern mega computer systems.
I’ve long felt intensely led by the Holy Spirit to address the sacredness of the Holy Scriptures, The Bible, and how it gives us evidence of both God’s existence and the unique validity of the Bible as His personal Word to you and me. Conscious of the fact that our Bread program is intended to be a devotional and not a study, I’ve shied from addressing these matters. But the compulsion won’t leave me, so this must be what I need to do. Therefore, this week’s Breads will be a modest series providing facts (only scratching the surface) to help us in our witness to the existence of God. I’ll make every effort to do this in an inspirational mode. My resources are four supreme books which I’ll note at the bottom of each Bread, in order reflecting my degree of use.
I’ll identify how these facts are confirmed through astronomy, medical science, biology, and, mathematics. Hopefully, by the end of the week each of us will not only have our own faith deepened, but will have some meaningful witness tools.
Crucial facts a non-believer has to disprove regarding the Bible: (1)it is a progressive revelation over 16 centuries which man could not coordinate, (2)this revelation contains amazing internal evidence, (3)the Bible contains thousands of detailed predictions no human could have known of, (4)the Bible’s primary purpose is to reveal God’s Plan of Salvation through Jesus Christ, (5)the Bible contains advanced medical knowledge far beyond its historical point-in-time.
Another fascinating fact is “ELS” (Equidistant Letter Sequences) which reveal hundreds of codes from God buried within the Old and New Testament texts, but that’s definitely a series in itself. Yacov Rambsel does a tremendous job with this if you’re interested (see my footnotes below).
Tomorrow: was the Bible was altered and details manipulated….
Blessings Always in All Ways,
Steve
