The Bible and YouModern critics say that the Bible is unscientific and contradictory, that it is just a collection of myths. Jesus, on the other hand, said: Your [Gods] word is truth. (John 17:17) The evidence supports Jesus rather than the critics. The facts show that the Bible is historically truthful. Moreover, its remarkable harmony, its true prophecies, its deep wisdom, and its power for good in peoples lives all demonstrate that the Bible is the written Word of God. As the apostle Paul wrote: All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial.—2 Timothy 3:16.THE fact that the Bible is Gods word, not mans, has profound implications. It means that God really has communicated with humans. He has answered many of our questions and has shown the solution to many of our problems. It also means that the prospects for the future described in the Bible are genuine. Gods Kingdom really is ruling and in time will act to remove from this earth all injustice, oppression, and suffering.2 Now, the question is: What will you do with this information? At the very least, the knowledge that the Bible is Gods Word should encourage you to look into it. The psalmist promised happiness for those who do so when he wrote: Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones . . . but his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and in his law he reads in an undertone day and night.—Psalm 1:1, 2.Accept Help3 Likely, in your reading of the Bible, you will find things that you do not understand. (2 Peter 3:16) An event recorded in the Bible book of Acts shows that this should be expected. Soon after the death of Jesus, an Ethiopian was reading from the prophecies of the Bible book of Isaiah. The Christian evangelist Philip met up with the man and asked: Do you actually know what you are reading? The Ethiopian did not, so he invited Philip to help him understand.—Acts 8:30, 31.
