John 20:31
"But these are written, that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that
believing ye might have life
through his name"
The eighth and final reason for studying God's Word is, because the only proof for our faith is the Bible, "God's Holy Word." And that is what a Christian stands on, God's word! For example, often the unbeliever throws an accusation at you the believer and says, "Oh, you Christians, your all alike! You think you are right and every one else is wrong. How can you be so sure what you believe is true?" This question is a fair question to an unbeliever. So what would your answer be?
First there is a few things you couldn't say, "I know I'm right because I feel I'm right! Christ lives in my heart! This is a wonderful truth experienced by all believers, but it will not convince the unbeliever. You couldn't say, I'm right because Christianity has more followers in the word than any other religion.
What could you say? In reality you would have only one single answer. But the weapon, that unanswerable argument, is one's own personal copy of the Bible. You hold up your Bible and confidently proclaim the following: "Look at This! I Know I'm right because the Author of my faith has given me a book which is completely unlike any of the books of other faiths." You can point out the unity, the indestructibility, and the universal influence of the Bible. You could discuss its historical, scientific, and prophetical accuracy.
My Friends, Then you want to end with exciting examples of perhaps the greatest single proof of the the supernatural nature of the Bible, that is, it's marvelous life transforming power! "God's Word Is True, Stand On It."
Amen!
