Do You Believe The Bible?
There have been many attacks on the Bible down through
the ages because the Bible condemns too much of what men love to do. Man
wants to live as he pleases without being accountable to God. Many want to
live as though there is no God but Psalms 14:1 says, "The fool has said in
his heart, ‘There is no God’".
Today unbelief in the Bible is often seen as a badge
of courage to be displayed openly and worn proudly. Satan plants seeds of
doubt in the minds of people, which result in unbelief. Unbelief is a
contagious disease, which causes one to depart from God. Hebrews 3:12 says,
"Lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the
living God". Unbelief will cause countless souls to be lost in eternity.
The Bible tells us from where all things came, why
we are here, how we are to live while here, and where we are going. The
Bible is the word of God, which is verbally inspired, infallible, inerrant,
all sufficient, and authoritative. The Bible is "Not in words which man’s
wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches" (1 Corinthians 2:13). In
the Bible, God has told us everything we need so we can please Him and go to
Heaven. 2 Peter 1:3 says, "His divine power has given us all things that
pertain to life and godliness."
Each of us will make the choice to either accept the
Bible as our authority in religion or reject it. But we will bear the
consequences of our choice. God’s word is the authority or standard by
which all people will be judged on Judgment Day. Jesus says in John 12:48,
"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges
him, the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day." People
may ignore God’s word now, but on Judgment Day they will not be able to
ignore it. Happy will be the person who has shown his love for the truth of
God’s word and obeyed it. Because the Bible is the pure and inspired word
of God it "is able to save your souls" (James 1:21). But woe be to those
who have set it aside.
We must not neglect to follow God’s authoritative
word if we want to go to Heaven. Hebrews 2:3 says, "How shall we escape if
we neglect so great salvation, which at first began to be spoken by the
Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him." There is no escape
if one neglects to believe and obey God’s authoritative and infallible word.
