Is the Bible trustworthy?

The Bible has stood the test of time—historically, prophetically, and spiritually. “All Scripture is God-breathed…” —2 Timothy 3:16 It’s more than a book; it’s God’s living Word. Explore why you can trust it with your life.

Everyone Has Questions

Believing the Bible can feel like a big step—especially if you're new to faith or curious about Christianity. Maybe you’ve wondered:

· “How can something so ancient still apply today?”

· “Hasn’t it been changed over time?”

· “What if it’s just a collection of legends?”

These are honest questions—and the Bible welcomes them.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
—Psalm 119:105

What Is the Bible?

The Bible is a library of 66 books, written over 1,500 years by more than 40 authors.

And yet, it tells one story: God's love for humanity and His plan to save us through Jesus Christ.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
—2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)

It is not just wise teachings—it is God-breathed truth that continues to speak today.

A Modern Discovery That Confirms an Ancient Book

In 1947, a young shepherd discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls—ancient manuscripts containing Old Testament texts over 2,000 years old.

When compared with modern Bibles, they were nearly identical—especially the book of Isaiah.

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.”
—Isaiah 40:8

This discovery confirms that the Bible we read today has been carefully preserved, not distorted.

The Bible Happens in Real Places

The events in the Bible took place in real cities you can still visit:

· Bethlehem – Jesus’ birthplace

· Nazareth – His childhood home

· Capernaum – Where He taught and healed

· Jerusalem – Where He was crucified and rose again

Jesus walked these lands—and His words still echo today.

“Come and see.”
—John 1:46

Jesus Still Heals Today

The Bible says miracles didn’t stop in the first century. People today still testify of healing through the name of Jesus.

“These signs will follow those who believe… they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
—Mark 16:17–18 (NKJV)

Real Encounters with Jesus

Many who were near death describe going to heaven, meeting Jesus, and returning changed forever.

Watch:

· Dean Braxton – Dead for 1 Hour, Visited Heaven, Met Jesus

· Dr. Mary Neal – Surgeon Who Died and Came Back

These testimonies mirror what the Bible teaches about life after death and Christ’s role as Savior.

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
—John 11:25 (NKJV)

Fulfilled Prophecy

The Bible contains hundreds of specific prophecies—many about Jesus—written centuries before His birth:

· Born in Bethlehem

· Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver

· Crucified between criminals

· Buried in a rich man’s tomb

· Rose again on the third day

These fulfilled prophecies show that the Bible is not just history—it’s supernatural truth.

“Declaring the end from the beginning… My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.”
—Isaiah 46:10 (NKJV)

He’s not far. He’s waiting for you.
