A Question of Ultimate Importance

In a world swirling with doubt, confusion, and shifting morals, one question towers above all others:

Is the Bible really God’s Word?

If it is, then it is the final authority — the absolute truth by which every life will ultimately be measured.
If it isn’t, then Christianity collapses into myth, and we are left without meaning or hope.

There is no middle ground.
The Bible is either the infallible Word of the living God — or it is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated.

So what are the odds that the Bible really is God’s Word?
Let’s examine the unimaginable evidence.

1. The Bible’s Miraculous Story: Beyond Human Possibility

The Bible stands alone in human history:

Written over 1,500+ years
Penned by more than 40 different authors
Composed in 3 languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek)
Spread across 3 continents (Asia, Africa, Europe)
Including kings, peasants, warriors, fishermen, priests, prophets, and doctors
Covering every major controversial topic
Yet declaring one unified message from Genesis to Revelation: the redemption of mankind through Jesus Christ

The Bible is a miracle of unity, consistency, and truth — humanly impossible without divine authorship.

2. The Odds: Statistically Impossible Without God

Consider these odds:

Event	Approximate Odds
Being struck by lightning in your lifetime	1 in 15,300
Winning the Powerball lottery once	1 in 292 million
A meteor striking your house	1 in 182 trillion
A deck of cards perfectly shuffled into sequential order	1 in 10⁶⁸
40+ authors across 1,500 years writing a fully unified book on hundreds of topics by coincidence	Less than 1 in 10⁴⁰⁰

You are astronomically more likely to:

Win the lottery ten times in a row,
Get hit by a meteor,
Be struck by lightning while winning the lottery,
And flip a coin heads 100 times in a row,

than for the Bible to exist without divine intervention.

The odds are not simply improbable — they are mathematically impossible.

The only rational conclusion: The Bible was orchestrated by God Himself.

3. The Bible Claims Itself to Be Absolute Truth

The Bible does not shy away from bold claims. It declares:

It is the very Word of God:
“All Scripture is breathed out by God…”
— 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)
It is completely true and trustworthy:
“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul…”
— Psalm 19:7 (ESV)
It will never pass away or fail:
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
— Matthew 24:35 (ESV)
It is Absolute Truth:
“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.”
— John 17:17 (ESV)

In a world of shifting opinions and temporary philosophies, the Bible remains the unshakable, eternal Truth — because it comes from the unchanging, eternal God.

The Bible is not just true; It is Absolute Truth.

4. Three Pillars: Why We Can Trust the Bible

Because the Bible is of divine origin, we believe in:

Inspiration

God supernaturally guided the human authors to write exactly what He intended.
The Bible is God-breathed.

Inerrancy

In its original writings, the Bible is without error.
Everything it teaches is perfectly true.

Infallibility

The Bible cannot and will not fail in its purpose.
It is eternally trustworthy.

Without inspiration, the Bible would be just another flawed human book.
Without inerrancy, the Bible could not be trusted.
Without infallibility, the Bible could mislead.
But the Bible stands, invincible and unfailing — because it is the Word of God.

5. What About Alleged Contradictions?

Skeptics love to claim the Bible contradicts itself. But on closer inspection:

Most contradictions vanish when proper context, translation, and culture are understood.
Apparent differences in eyewitness accounts actually strengthen authenticity (just as in modern legal testimony).
No error has ever been proven that invalidates any doctrinal truth, prophecy, or historical claim of Scripture.

In 2,000 years of relentless attack — no one has disproved the Bible.
It remains the most analyzed, criticized, yet undefeated book in all of history.

Because truth stands. Always.

6. Why It Matters: Your Life Depends On It

If the Bible really is God’s Word, then:

It carries divine authority over your life.
It reveals the only way of salvation through Jesus Christ.
It gives hope beyond the grave.
It lights the only true path through this dark world.

Ignoring the Bible is not simply foolish — it is fatal.

Receiving it brings life, freedom, and eternal hope.

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
— Isaiah 40:8 (ESV)

Conclusion: God Has Spoken. Are You Listening?

The evidence is overwhelming.
The odds are undeniable.
The Bible is not the word of man — it is the Word of God.

It is Absolute Truth — unchanging, undiminished, undefeated.

God has spoken.
The question is: Will you listen?
