Be Convinced That God's "Word Is Truth"

 "The very essence of  your word is truth." -PSALM 119:160.

MANY today are suffering from a lack of confidence.  They do not know whom they can trust.  They wonder whether people they look up to-politicians, scientists, and businessmen -really have their best interests at heat.  In addition, they do not have high regard for Christendom's clergy.  So it is not surprising that they view with skepticism the book those religious leader claim to represent-the Bible. 

As servants of Jehovah, we are convinced that he is "the God of truth" and that he  always wants what is best for us. ( Psalm 31:5; Isaiah 48:17) )  We know that we can trust  what we read in the Bible-that "the very essence of [God's] Word  is truth." (Read Psalm 119:160.) We agree with what one Bible scholar wrote:  "There is no hint of falseness or chance of failure in anything God has said.  God's people can trust what he says because they trust the God who has said it."

How can we help others to have the same confidence that we have in God's Word? Let us  reflect on three reasons why can trust the Bible.  We will consider the accuracy of the text, the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and the Bible's power to change lives.
