Some people claim the Bible was just made up—how do we answer this claim? Well, here’s the first of three evidences I’ll give you this week that confirm the Bible came from God and not man.
Number one: The Bible isn’t what we’d expect if it were made-up. First, it shows the flaws and faults of its heroes—it doesn’t whitewash them.
Secondly, manmade religions teach we must work to achieve salvation. But the Bible’s message is the opposite. We can’t do anything—Christ has done it all for us! Man’s religions are about what we can do for god; the Bible teaches us what God has done for us. The Bible’s radically unique.
