In this thread, I want you to give just ONE of the reasons that the Bible is trustworthy that has impacted you the most. Do it like this. The Bible is trustworthy because ___________________________________________________________. I'll go first with a less common answer. The Bible is trustworthy because of the way it speaks to human nature unlike any other book ever written. What's yours? Let us know below. P.S. I know there are MANY reasons that make it trustworthy. Let's stick to ONE of the most convincing for you personally. ✌️

This morning I was reading in 2 Corinthians 3:4-6. Here's the passage: “We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ A little background on Paul who was writing this. He was highly trained in Jewish theology and worked very hard to keep the Old Testament Law. He trained under some of the best Jewish theologians of his day. Before coming to Christ, he was advancing in Judaism faster and further than most (see Galatians 1:14). He was obviously an intelligent, passionate, driven guy. And that translated once He found salvation in Jesus. Yet, even with all of that, Paul didn't think those things qualified him to do what God had called him to do. He didn't say, "I see why God chose me. I have a lot of theological knowledge. Nice call, God". He didn't see it that way. His credentials weren't enough. His accomplishments weren't it. There was only one thing that qualified him to do what God had called him to do. God. Paul said, "Our qualification comes from God." God qualified Paul to do His work. There were a lot of budding Jewish theology guys in Paul's time. God didn't chose them. God said to Paul, "I pick you". Even though you have a checkered past of trying to kill Christians. Even though at first people won't believe you really follow Me. I'll use all that. You're the right guy for the job. God qualifies us.

Let's get to know each other! You can use this simple format: Hey, I'm from _______________________. For fun I like to ___________________________________. My favorite book of the Bible is: _________________________________________. (If you don't have a favorite book of the Bible yet, change it to "My favorite holiday is: ______________________.")
