The word of Scripture is true.

"Your Word is truth" (John 17.17). In the Old Testament, also with regard to all the trait: "God is not a man to lie, nor a son of man - to get Him to change. He did say, and won't do? will speak, and not to look fat?" (Num 23.19). In John 14 Jesus not only shows what it says is the truth, but that he is the embodiment of truth. Author Manfred Hausman noticed about truth: truth is infinitely more correct.

 

Between Jesus and the word of God there is unity.

Jesus and the word of God formed an indissoluble unity (John 1.1-4, Rev 19.13). While on Earth, Jesus was both man and God. He was the son of God and son of man. But emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made like unto men and becoming human-like (Phil 2.7), but unlike the others he was without sin.

This happens with the Bible : outwardly it is different from other books and names a lot of literary merit, but unlike all other books it is God's Word, which is infallible, absolutely true (Ps 119.160) and completely blameless (Prov 30.5).

 

There were no differences as evidence of the truth among the different books of the Bible and its writers. So, we cannot say that the Old Testament has advantages over the New Testament or vice versa, or Gospel win - in essence, compared to the letters of the Apostle Paul, as all Scripture is based on revelation (Gal 1.11). However, the depth of the expressed truths never identical. So, the depth of the thought of the redemption in John 3.16 cannot be compared with the description of travel to Acts 27.13, and the description of creation in Genesis 1, took it to a totally different situation than the description of the return from the captivity of the Jews - in Ezra 2.

 

THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE CAN BE VERIFIED. God does not require blind faith, He gives us a compelling validation criteria that help us come to a knowledge of the truth :

1. Checking the life

Jesus teaches how you can check the Words, singing it in their lives: "My teaching not Mine, but his who sent me; who wants to do the will of Him, He learns that the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on my own authority" (John 7.16-17).

2. Check your own freedom

Jesus teaches that the use of a false system enslaves (ideology and system of sects enslave people), in the life of his teaching, on the contrary, development-improve, "If you abide in my word, you are really my disciples, and will know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (John 8.31-32).

3. Check the Words

As a taste of Orange, but having tried it, because the truth of the Bible is opened through reading and accepting it. Discussions and debates are no substitute for intensive study of the Bible. An example would be Veriah Church: they "more reasonably that Thessalonikians: they took the floor with all diligence, reviewing the Scriptures daily, whether it so" (Acts 17.11).

4. Test results 

Who ever comes by the word of God, and consults with Them, that is LUCK.

“No this book of the law depart from your mouth; but learnsit day and night, in order to accurately perform all that is written in it: then you will be successful in your ways and you will be wise" (Nav 1.8).

5. Verification of hearing sermons 

A special promise of God refers to hearing the biblical sermons. Who listens to the word of God with an open mind, he must believe : "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10.17).

6. Check your sinful nature

Perhaps nowhere does the Bible speaks to us so directly, as when she says of our sinful nature. Who wants to stay honest to ourselves, that recognizes the Biblical truth delivered to us the diagnosis: "For there is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom 3.23). It is unlikely we will find the person who would have rejected the words of 1 John 1.8 as not suitable to him, "if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us".

Notice that the Biblical truth opens only obedient. Who is coming to the Bible purely intellectual or even more critically, it will remain closed (1 Cor 1.18).

So mathematically proven calculations (for example, probability) help, but a step to the faith is an individual decision. The promises of God can be either taken by faith or unbelief.
