Hard Question #3 – How do You Know the Bible is True?

    There are many people who do not like the Bible and have no interest in reading it or learning anything about it.

Why do you think some people do not like the Bible?

The Bible makes people uncomfortable because it shows them their sin and our need for a savior, so they try to convince themselves and others that the Bible is not true and should not be trusted. If you meet one of these people, they may ask you this hard question. You can answer this hard question with these 5 points that make up the acronym FACES.  

   FACES – Fulfilled Prophecies

God orchestrated the Bible in such a way that it includes fulfilled prophecy because He knew that it would show that He can be trusted and that His Word is true.  

    FACES – Archaeological Discoveries

There have been thousands of discoveries that show us the Bible is not just a collection of made-up stories; it is based on real people, real places, and real events. Every time archaeologists find something that aligns with the Bible, it is confirmation that says, “Yep, this book is true!  

    FACES – Consistency in the Bible

Different authors have written from different perspectives, and when considered together the give a fuller picture. These differences do not make the Bible unreliable or untrue. The Bible has been proven to be true over the last 6000 years!

    FACES – Extra-Biblical Writings

Events like a global flood and the Israelites living in Egypt were recorded in other writings outside of the Bible. These writings are proof that the Bible is true.  

    FACES – Scientific Evidence

The Earth is round. The life is in the blood. The Water cycle.

Scientists did not discover these things were true until thousands of years after the Bible was written. The scientific accuracy of the Bible helps us know that the Bible is true.

Lesson 13

Jesus Part 2

January 29, 2025
Jesus

There are so many ups and downs in life that we all feel like quitting sometimes. How about you? Are you facing something that feels so hard you don’t think you can follow God over that next hill? Please don’t quit. But do think about Jesus. As He followed God to the Cross to die for our sins, He thought about quitting. But He didn’t. He kept on looking to God for the strength to take one more step and climb one more hill. And God ironed out the way before Him. Then God made Him strong like iron so nothing could keep Him from following God’s plan. Such “iron-will” strength is supernatural. It only comes from God. He gave it to Jesus. And He wants to give it to you. Don’t quit. Trust God. He has a wonderful surprise for you, just over that next hill. I Have the Iron Will to Follow God Over Any Hill!

Lesson 12

Jesus Part 1

Jesus

The Bible is one huge picture-book story about the glory of God. It paints picture after picture of the great things God did to bring glory to His name. To give someone glory simply means to bring honor to that person. When we follow God’s ways, we honor Him and give Him glory. But the greatest picture-book story about the glory of God is Jesus. Everything He said and did while He lived on earth is a perfect picture of the one true God-because Jesus is God! Would you like to get to know God better? If so, just keep reading His book and following the pictures. Jesus is the Picture Book Story of God’s Amazing Glory!

Lesson 20

Is Jesus God?

Jesus
God

Almost everyone knows that 1 + 1 = 2. The basic laws of math never change, and neither does God. But heavenly math is different from earthly math. The Bible teaches that the one true God exists in three different persons: God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If we showed this as a spiritual math equation, it would look like this: 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 From God’s point of view, this makes perfect sense. Jesus equals God, just as the Father equals God and the Holy Spirt equals God – one God in three persons who all exist at the same time. This mystery is hard to understand, but it’s clearly what God wants us to believe. I’m Good at Godly Math: Jesus = God

Lesson 6

Heaven Part 1

November 14, 2024
Heaven

Think back on all of the gifts that you have received in your lifetime. What was your favorite gift? Who gave it to you? Why did you receive it? Was it Christmas, your birthday, a reward for good grades? Why was it your favorite? There are some good gift-givers and then there are some gift-givers who try really hard but usually get you something that you don’t really like. Did you know that God is a gift-giver too? If you think you get good gifts from the gift-givers in your life, they’re nothing compared to the gift that God has for you. If you accept God’s gift, and if you believe in Jesus, you’re plugged in to God’s plan. And He will never unplug you.

Lesson 21

Did God Create Everything?

God
Create
Everything

Did you know that a very long time ago nothing was around except God? Then when God decided the time was just right, He created everything. He made the little ball we live on called Planet Earth. He made every living thing on Earth. He also created the sky above and the oceans below. God made the sun, the moon, and the stars. God made the call to create every fish, bird, and animal. And when it was time to make people, God made that call too. None of this was an accident. In the beginning, only God was big enough to make the call that got the ball rolling. And He’s the only one big and powerful enough to keep it going, day after day. When God Spoke, the World Began!

Jesus is alive today and has promised to come into the life of anyone who trusts in Him. Jesus says in the Bible, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in…” (Revelation 3:20) Do you want to make a commitment to Jesus? Would you like to pray and ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to give you the gift of eternal life (Heaven)? This means that you want to trust in Jesus, turn from sin, and follow Him. Pray this prayer: Dear Jesus, forgive my sins, and come into my life as my Lord and Savior. Amen. Jesus says that the one who believes has everlasting life! Congratulations! NOW… Do you know for sure that you are going to be in heaven some day? And if God asked you, “Why should I let you into my heaven,” what would you say?
