Is the holy bible a fictitious document written by phony deceitful men? Many opponents of the bible contend that King James, a white man supposedly, concocted the bible on his own and distributed it to control the minds of his constituents and followers. This theory is promulgated in many communities in America. But is that the truth or a myth?
What does the bible say regarding how God Almighty, Yhovah, Adonay, the self-existent one, the eternal-one delivered his word to mankind. II Timothy 3:16&17 in the New Testament gives us insight into how God's word was put in written form. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God many be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
So God inspired men to write down his words so man could have the capacity to do good works in God. Now don't think for one moment that good works only will get you into heaven. We need to look into God's word and understand that man is separated from God because of Adam and Eve's disobedience, which is called sin. Man's initial good work is to acknowledge that he is a sinner and "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God".
Man must be born again, born from above by the Holy Spirit, confess Jesus as Lord and Savior because his sin sacrifice at Calvary redeemed mankind perfectly. Jesus was the scape-goat for the whole world and his pure sinless blood was the cost to purchase every man's salvation. "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission from sin". You must have trust and faith that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No man can be born again except he confesses Jesus as Lord over his life (Romans 10:9&10,13).
The sign of the times are upon us. The world system, controlled by satan is a death trap. Every where you turn there is corruption, wars, earthquakes, chaos and famine. The world economy is sinking like a rock. People are fearful and worried about their future and existence. The bible tells us in II Timothy 3:1, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy"......
I want to encourage you today to put you trust and faith in Jesus Christ and not your job, president of your company, your social network, or the government. No entity can do for you what Jesus Christ did when he gave his life for mankind. If you put your confidence in Jesus and trust him, he will not fail you. God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said and shall he not do it? hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Number 23:19
