Is the Bible relevant for today? | GotQuestions.org

In today's video I'll answer your question, is the Bible relevant for today?

Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the.

End.

Hebrews 4 verse 12 says, For the word of God is living and

active, sharper than any double -edged.

Sword.

It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow.

It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

While the Bible was completed approximately 1 ,900 years ago, its accuracy and relevance for

today remain unchanged.

The Bible is the sole objective source of all the revelation God has given us about Himself

and His plan for humanity.

The Bible contains a great deal of information about the natural world that has been confirmed by scientific

observations and research.

Some of these passages include Leviticus 17, verse 11, Ecclesiastes 1,

verses 6 -7, Job 36, verses 27 -29, Psalm

102, verses 25 -27, and Colossians 1,

verses 16 -17.

As the Bible's story of God's redemptive plan for humanity unfolds, many different characters are

vividly described.

In these descriptions, the Bible provides a great deal of information about human behavior and tendencies.

Our own day -to -day experience shows us that this information is more accurate and descriptive of the human

condition than any psychology textbook.

Many historical facts recorded in the Bible have been confirmed by extra -biblical sources.

Historical research often shows a great deal of agreement between biblical accounts and extra -biblical accounts of the

same events.

However, the Bible is not a history book, a psychology text, or a scientific journal.

The Bible is the description God gave us about who He is and His desires and

plans for humanity.

The most significant component of this revelation is the story of our separation from God by

sin and God's provision for restoration of fellowship through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus

Christ on the cross.

Our need for redemption does not change, neither does God's desire to reconcile us to Himself.

The Bible contains a great deal of accurate and relevant information.

The Bible's most important message, redemption, is universally and perpetually applicable.

To humanity.

God's Word will never be outdated, superseded, or improved upon.

Cultures change, laws change, generations come and go, but the Word of God is as relevant

today as it was when it was first written.

Not all of Scripture necessarily applies explicitly to us today, but all Scripture contains truth that we

can and should apply to our lives today.
