WHY IS BIBLE TRUTH SO IMPORTANT?

THE IMPORTANCE OF BIBLE TRUTH

Is Bible Truth important to your Faith and Salvation ie. will you be saved despite what you believe the bible teaches or does it matter what you believe?

Well the word “truth” appears 237 times in the bible, that alone says it must be important!

Therefore it must be important to understand what “truth” is.

A quick scan of the passages using this word “truth” leave us in no doubt that it is not only important, but vital to our salvation.

John 17:3

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

1 John 5:20

20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

1 Timothy 2:3-4

3For thisis good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

 

Clearly then knowing what is Bible Truth is important and vital, in addition to this we are also warned that some would depart from the “truth”…

1 Timothy 4:1

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry,and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 John 4:6

6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

From these passages it is very clear that we need to know the “truth” about God and His Son as it is taught to us in the Bible.  This means we must learn what this is from the Bible itself.

 

Don't let your HOPE of LIFE ETERNAL rest with someone else eg. your pastor or minister, YOU owe it to yourself and your family to be fully convinced of what it is you believe to be sure it HOLDS something REAL for you.

 

We have all been warned by God that there would be many false teachers and Jesus himself has told us that "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."  See Matthew 7:14

 

BIBLE TRUTH and true faith must be founded on a fully inspired Bible.

God's Plan for this World and You

 

THE view of planet earth, seen from outer space, is very beautiful indeed. Confirmation of this has come from the astronauts who have gazed upon it. The earth is the fairest jewel in God's creation and it is the chosen place in the whole universe where He has promised to reveal His Kingdom in all its glory. That is why it is so beautiful.

 

The earth, of all the planets in the solar system, is the one that is perfectly suited to all forms of life and the one that orbits at exactly the right distance from the sun to provide comfortable conditions for the human race.

The Bible Is Our Guide

The Holy BibleThe Bible provides us with plain Scriptural Teaching for the True Followers of Christ

The statements on this guide represent what we believe is true Bible teaching. The statements are deliberately challenging, asking every reader to compare his own opinions with the plain teaching of Scripture, examining carefully the Bible passages offered as proof. If, as a result, a change of mind and heart is called for, there will be no doubt that the teaching of the Lord, and the book he trusted, must be followed and not what the churches teach.

 

All Scripture quotations are taken from the New King James (also known as the Revised Authorized) Version of the Bible.

Why I Believe the Bible

The Bible is a remarkable collection of books. It contains huge amounts of evidence that it was written under inspiration by God. Here are just two brief examples.

Prophecy

There are many prophecies in the Bible, and they are there for a reason - to show us that the Bible was written by God. Consider the history of the Jews. Once they lived in Israel. Then the land was invaded and the Jews were dispersed for nearly 2000 years. Despite their subsequent persecution they were never destroyed. Then they began to return to the land of Israel. Whatever your feelings about the rights and wrongs of that branch of Middle Eastern politics you cannot doubt that Jewish history has been remarkable. It is even more remarkable when you consider that all of their history was recorded in advance in the Bible.

 Before entering the Land of Israel the Children of Israel (as the Jews are sometimes called) were told that if they were obedient they would live in the land in peace and prosperity. If they were disobedient, however, "the LORD will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other" (Deuteronomy 28:64). Despite being scattered they would never be completely destroyed: " Though I make full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a complete end of you" Eventually the Jews were to be regathered and returned to Israel: "I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel" (Ezekiel 11:17). Ezekiel 37 is also interesting in this context.

How could a man have written this without the help of God? It would have been impossible.

Jesus Christ

Just as nobody could have written the history of Israel in advance, nobody could have invented Christ. The nature of his life is proof that he really existed!

The first men and women to be followers of Christ were, by in large, persecuted because of their beliefs. These are the very people who would have invented Christ had he been invented. Why would they have invented something that lead to their persecution? Not even the leaders of the early Church escaped: in fact they suffered most. Among other torments Paul was lashed at least 5 times, beaten three times and even stoned once. (2 Corinthians 11:24-25). Why would Paul have allowed himself to suffer so much because of his preaching if Christ had been invented? Far from being deluded himself it is usually Paul that is accused of inventing Christ.

The early followers of Christ did lead non-violent lifestyles, as Christ commanded (see Matthew 5:39), which would hardly have been a sensible thing to do in the brutal Roman Empire. The Apostles would not have invented the story of Christ's resurrection because they suffered for it and would have known that they would have suffered for it.

The only reasonable explanation is that Christ really did exist.

AND IF THIS IS SO, THEN THERE IS GREAT PURPOSE TO LIFE IN HIS MESSAGE OF HOPE!
