There are certain things that are worth considering.  Deeply.  But despite the importance and almost overwhelming impact of the conclusions such ponderings should produce, few actually take the time and make the effort to do so.  There are things in life that take careful consideration; things that if not considered properly can have detrimental, if not devastating, results.  Take, for example, marriage and the radical, long lasting impact such a decision can have.  Or kids.  Or taking a particular job, or moving to a new town, state, or even country.  Considering such things make many other decisions mundane and of no lasting consequence.  The phrase “Don’t sweat the small stuff” comes to mind.  But these are not the things I’m addressing.

What I’m addressing are things even larger; things beyond the here and now.  Questions that many philosophers, sages, and wise men of old have pondered.  Questions such as ‘Why are we here?’ ‘What is the meaning of life?’ ‘What is my purpose?’ ‘Does something happen to me when I die and if so what?’ ‘Do I really have something we call a ‘soul’, is it tied to my flesh, does it persist after the body is no longer living, and if so, what happens to it?’.  The questions are many and deep.  Many have spent hours trying to find the answers to these questions.  Which I find odd, since they are all answered in the Bible.

The logical argument then arises – what authority does the Bible have?  What makes it trustworthy?  What makes what it says true when other books don’t agree with it?  More on this below, but let’s assume for the moment that it is what it says it is – the Word of God – literally, God speaking to you, me, and all of mankind.  With that assumption, the Bible then becomes VERY important, since it has information that can affect not just our life, but our after-life.  What more important thing is there to find out than the answers to these questions since they potentially affect us for all eternity – forever!

If you have not found out, do so!  Read the Bible.  “It fits a man for life – it prepares him for death.” -Daniel Webster

Others have done much research in answering the question ‘Is the Bible true?’.  To read some, simply Google “Is the Bible true” and read to your heart’s content.  Once source I particularly enjoyed is http://www.mtio.com/articles/bissar22.htm.  Put simply, the prophetic, historical, archaeological, and testimonial facts put the Bible as nothing short of Divine and Supernatural.  To say it is true is an understatement.
