The day I started reading the Bible and the books that were written by God-inspired writers, my time became blessed (Psalms 143:5). Among the writers, God used books of Saints like Watchman Nee and Witness Lee to speak to me more clearly. Further, my fellowship with the Lord through prayers and my fellowship with other believers had wiped away many lies. The noises in my head were replaced with the sweet name of Jesus. This was also the time when I was convinced that there was not an iota of truth in the arguments against the Bible being the word of God (Read ‘The Case for Christ’ by Lee Strobel). The case for Bible which is a perfectly preserved Holy book is strong. This is the written word of God that explains to us the living Word of God. Right from Genesis to Revelation, the central point of God, Lord Jesus, is steadfastly expressed, explained and glorified to the believers who draw near to Him in faith.
The Holy Spirit took about 1400 years and several authors with different backgrounds and status to complete the Holy Bible. This is a massive and impossible project if we speak in terms of human beings; something that could only be achieved through the cooperation of persons not only separated geographically but by eras. Right from the beginning of the Bible, we hear the gospel of Christ which is the master plan of God. This triumphant gospel was only possible by the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the future, every knee will bow before God and every mouth will praise Him for His victory. There will not be dissenting voices, rebelling hearts, but souls that have come together to worship God not by force but by their own will in spirit and truth.
The Lord taught me the effective method to counter the lies and doubts regarding Him and His kingdom. This is to approach every matter by having an undisputed belief that the Word of God is the ultimate truth. Such an approach will quell all your doubts about God (James 4:8) and help you understand the truth. Having this foundational believing mindset is the best way to removing stumbling blocks from our way (Joh 16:13). There is no other storehouse of Philosophy and spiritual knowledge that is so exhaustive and inclusive than the Bible. Hence, the word of God is more than capable of answering all your queries to your satisfaction.
