Reasons Why We Say the Bible is GOD'S WORD!

BECAUSE. . .

Reason #1: "What the Bible Says About Itself"

This may not seem like the very best reason to accept the Bible as God's Word, but it's a great place to start. Since the Bible is the truth and does not lie, then it is completely correct when it refers to itself as being God's Word! Some people don't already accept the Bible as God's Word, so it doesn't matter to them what the Bible says about itself. That's why it is important to inspect the facts about the Bible!

Now, if one of your friends said that he was SUPERMAN, would that automatically make him SUPERMAN? Of course not! You would want to inspect and see if what he said was really true! Can he fly? Can he bend steel? If not, then he probably isn't SUPERMAN, right? When we inspect the Bible, we find out that it is always right! The Bible always proves itself to be the Word of God. You can trust the Bible!
