How do we know the Bible can be trusted?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible's trustworthiness is rooted in its divine authorship and unity, as it has one true author, God, who preserves its truth across diverse human authors and contexts.

The trustworthiness of the Bible is established by recognizing its divine authorship and the cohesive message it conveys despite being penned by various human authors over centuries. Titus 1:9 stresses the need to hold fast to the faithful word, signifying its reliability. This trust is anchored in the fact that God, the sovereign and faithful one, is the ultimate author of Scripture. Throughout its 66 books, God communicates a consistent message of grace, salvation, and truth across diverse backgrounds and contexts. Furthermore, the Bible warns against adding or taking away from its contents, underscoring its sufficiency and authority (Revelation 22:18-19). This unity and divine origin assure believers that the Bible remains a trusty guide for faith and practice.
