How do we know the Bible is true?

Answered in 64 sources

The truth of the Bible is affirmed through its enduring nature and spiritual power, evidenced by countless lives transformed by its message (1 Peter 1:24-25, John 12:48).

The truth and reliability of Scripture are established by its divine origin and the transformative power it holds. According to 1 Peter 1:24-25, 'the word of the Lord endureth for ever,' implying that the teachings of the Bible are everlasting and not subject to change like worldly things. Furthermore, the reality that believers experience life change and find fulfillment through the Word reinforces its truthfulness. John 12:48 suggests that the words of Christ will judge us on the last day, indicating that the Scriptures carry divine authority. Thus, the firm historical backdrop, fulfilled prophecies, and personal experiences of believers serve as a testament to the Bible's truth.
