DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE?

As Christians, we are to believe in the Bible—God’s Word—and obey it.  Sadly, in these last days there is a lack of real belief in the Bible.  Polls have been taken which show that those who identify as Christians are taking an increasingly fast and loose approach to Holy Writ.  For some examples, a number of professing believers do not think that the Genesis creation account should be taken literally, that there is no such thing as a literal hell, and that there are other paths to God besides salvation by Jesus Christ.  There are others, but the point should already be clear: There is a faith crisis of epic proportions in the Body of Christ as far as the Word of God is concerned.  Poor Bible versions and feelgood preaching have not helped, either.  So what does the Bible say about its veracity?  Here are several Scriptures to ponder:

2 Peter 1:19-21:  And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

John 17:17-  “Sanctify them by Your truth.  Your word is truth.”
