But even that treasure is nothing compared to the value of God’s Word – The Bible! The Bible is true and CAN be trusted! If you search the Bible, you will find a super-rich life walking with God. Dive deep for God’s treasure. I’m Diving Deep for Treasure to Keep!

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.

Commitment

Most of us are acquainted with mouth-sizzling hot sauce, especially those of us who like Mexican food. Now listen to this: God loves hot sauce, and wants us to be like it. You see, tasteless, fizzles, cold Christianity makes God sick. He just can’t stand it. In fact, he’d rather you be ice cold any day instead of lukewarm every day. Don’t be distasteful to God. Tickle His taste buds by being a faithful follower of Jesus each day. Make a commitment today to trust in Jesus alone as Savior and Lord! Being Hot Sauce for the One True Boss of the entire universe is the only cool way to live!

Suppose you are in a “Long Jump” challenge. A goal line has been set. Everyone in the challenge tries their best to reach the goal. During the competition everyone falls short of the goal line. Do you think that if you had a bigger running start, you would be able to reach the mark? What about if you practiced more? Do you think you would have reached the mark then? Even with a bigger running start and more time to practice, you still would not have reached the mark. The goal line was simply impossible to reach. The goal line is like God’s standard of perfection. That is a high standard! It represents living a perfect life and being a perfect person. It is obvious that we all fall short of the perfection line.

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?

Lesson 20

Is Jesus God?

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

Two Diagnostic Questions

Diagnostic Questions

Have you ever been sick and had to go to the doctor? What did the doctor do to help you feel better again? Doctors can examine someone to identify their condition or diagnose them. They take x-rays, check injuries, and take blood tests. But first they ask you “How are you feeling? Doctors ask lots and lots of questions to diagnose the problem. When we share the gospel, we can be like a doctor and diagnose how much the person knows about heaven and how to get there.
