These are the following reasons the Bible is trustworthy
1. Manuscript Evidence
The Bible, particularly the New Testament, has more manuscript evidence than any other ancient work.
Volume: There are over 5,800 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. In comparison, most ancient classical works (like those by Plato or Caesar) have fewer than 100 surviving copies.
Consistency: Despite being copied by hand for centuries, the variations between these manuscripts are largely minor (like spelling or word order) and do not change the core message or doctrines.
2. Archaeological Accuracy
Archaeology has frequently confirmed the locations, figures, and customs described in the Bible.
The Dead Sea Scrolls: Discovered in 1947, these scrolls confirmed that the Old Testament had been preserved with incredible accuracy over a thousand years of copying.
Historical Figures: Inscriptions and artifacts have verified the existence of people once thought to be mythical, such as Pontius Pilate (the Pilate Stone) and King David (the Tel Dan Stele).
3. Historical Consistency
The Bible was written over a span of approximately 1,500 years by more than 40 different authors (including kings, fishermen, farmers and doctors) across three continents. Witten in three languages Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
Unified Theme: Despite this diversity in authorship and time, the text maintains a remarkably consistent narrative arc regarding the nature of humanity and the relationship with the God.
Eye-Witness Accounts: Many of the New Testament writings were composed within decades of the events they describe, while witnesses to those events were still alive to challenge or verify the claims.
4. Prophetic Fulfillment
The Bible contains numerous prophecies that many scholars and believers point to as evidence of its divine origin.
Specific Details: The Old Testament contains hundreds of prophecies regarding the Messiah—including his birthplace, lineage, and the nature of his death—which were fulfilled in the life of Jesus.
Historical Events: It also predicted the rise and fall of various ancient empires (like Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greek and Roman) with startling detail.
5. Enduring Impact
While not a "scientific" proof, the Bible’s survival and influence are noteworthy.
Resilience: It has survived centuries of intense scrutiny, censorship, and attempts to ban it, yet it remains the most translated and best-selling book in human history.
Transformed Lives: For many, the ultimate reason for trust is the "internal witness"—the way the text addresses the human condition and provides a framework for ethics, purpose, and personal change.
We hold to the centrality of the cross of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again to offer us the hope of salvation. We are committed to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. Gospel is the good news that by believing in Jesus, sins will be forgiven, and man will not face the fiery wrath of God against sinners.
The cross is a symbol of faith, hope, and love for Christians, and it is a reminder of our commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The sacrificial love of Jesus for us and a reminder of His victory over death and sin. We believe that Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection provide us with a path to eternal life. Anyone who confesses their sin and believes in the name Jesus will receive eternal life.
