Have You Read The Bible Today

The Bible statement that God is love, and also its teaching that he is wise, just and almighty is very generally accepted by Christian people. How has it been preserved free from corruption? Why, in its present condition, is it worthy of our full confidence? Let us consider what evidence we have to the credibility of these writings.



9Then the wine steward said to the king, “I must confess today that I have done wrong.10You were angry with the chief baker and me, and you put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard.11One night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.12A young Hebrew was there with us, a slave of the captain of the guard. But laying aside the Bible and its declarations as to God and his plans, what visible proofs have we of this character of love which the Bible ascribes to him.The Bible repeats over and over again that God is love, and promises that he will prove it by and by. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us.13Things turned out just as he said: you restored me to my position, but you executed the baker.”. Our ideas of the great Creator of the Universe admit of nothing short of perfection in each of these respects. But only those who accept the RANSOM as the expression of his love, and the central feature of the plan of salvation, can see any proof of God's love.



While the Bible is generally accepted by Christian people as having divine authority, comparatively few are able to clearly explain just why they hold this opinion.
