A GOOD FATHER’S LOVE
SHOULD I TRUST HIM?
by Brooks A. Harris
Often people feel that they have been so bad or done something so wrong that noone could ever forgive them or love them. But a good parent would love their child, no matter what they had done. They may be very displeased with what their child has done, but they would always love them. This is called unconditional love. A good parent would want their child to come to them and confess what they had done, apologize for it (be sincerely sorry for it) and ask for forgiveness. They would hope their child would no longer want to do bad things. A good parent should be trusted to do what is best for their child.
Unfortunately not all parents are good parents, but there is one father who is the perfect parent. He has unconditional love for His children. He wants them to come to Him with all their problems. He will completely forgive His children for whatever they have done. He wants to have a loving personal relationship with each child. His love will last forever. This good parent can be your’s too. This Good Father is the almighty God of the Holy Bible.
Now, you may be thinking, "This seems great but how can I know that God really exists?" The Bible gives us many guidelines on how we ought to live, but can the Bible be trusted as a relevant guide to today’s times? Is there evidence to support the truth of the Bible? Well to tell you the truth, there is much evidence which shows that God does truly exist and that His Word, the Holy Bible, is very reliable.
Those who argue that the Bible cannot be trusted, speak largely on the basis of unjustified assumptions, bias, and/or simple ignorance of the facts. For those who are open-minded, the evidence is more than sufficient to establish belief. Many of the best legal minds throughout history have concluded that the evidence for the historic truthfulness of Scripture is beyond reasonable doubt. They have accepted the New Testament as factual history on the grounds of strict legal evidence alone.
The article "Evidence For Biblical Reliability," compiled from several sources, will show evidences for the truth of the Bible, show how Bible teachings are relevant to today’s times and encourage faith in God and His Word. To shape your acceptance of the Bible, this article will show you the SHAPES of Biblical Reliability which are: Scientific evidence, Historic evidence, Archaeological evidence, Prophetic evidence, Epistles/Manuscript preservation evidence and Structural & Statistical evidence. Also see in this article listed web sites, web articles and books for more information.
