Mankind has Written Countless Books that can Inform and Entertain Us. God Wrote ONE Supernatural Book that can Enlighten and Transform Us! 

 

Isaiah 55:10 “The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. New Living Translation 

 

Isaiah 55:11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. New Living Translation 

The Bible was Compiled Supernaturally

 

The Bible was written over a 1,600-year period. It is a collection of 66 books penned by around 40 human authors with diverse backgrounds. It was written in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It also has one theme that is mentioned in every book, God’s plan for redemption of mankind by his chosen messiah. 

 

2 Peter 1:20 Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, 21 or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from GodNew Living Translation

 

2 Timothy 3:16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable… Amplified Bible CE 

 

The Bible has 2,500 prophecies within it and 2,000 have already been fulfilled in exact detail with zero failures. 500 are for future events concerning the second coming of Jesus and the end of this age and beginning of the next. That means that 80% of all Bible prophecies have already come to pass!

 

The chances of the 300 prophecies being fulfilled exactly about Jesus’ coming, dying and being resurrected is one in ten to the two-thousandth power. Or one with 2,000 zeros!

 

Here’s what Math Scholars say about this number. Winning the lottery every day for a billion years is more likely than 1 in 10^2000.

 

You’d have better odds flipping a coin and landing on heads 2,000 time in a row than 1 in 10^2000. The only conclusion is that the Bible wasn’t written by man, it is supernatural! It came out of heaven!

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. New Living Translation  

 

Why Every Christian Must Spend Time Reading and Meditating on Key Parts of the Bible 

 

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. 17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” New Living Translation 

 

1 Peter 2:2 …and like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, … New American Standard Bible  

 

1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but only as fleshly, as to infants in Christ. gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able, … New American Standard Bible  

 

John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” New King James Version

 

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. New Living Translation
