Trusting something - like a blind person with a new guide dog - usually only happens after a while. It takes time to discover that there are good reasons for placing our trust in something new. We don't always assume something is trustworthy until we have given it time to prove it can be trusted.
Although we might have a Bible on the shelf, we need to be sure it's not just another book. We need to find out what it contains and why it's different. Like a new guide dog, we need to know it's background and why it can be trusted.
And like a new guide dog, we need to spend time with the Bible to discover more about it: what it can and can't do, how it helps us deal with problems, and whether it always shows us the right way to go.
Try closing your eyes and walking round. It's difficult and dangerous, and it does not get any easier or safer if we do so again with an untrained dog to guide us! We need to know our 'guide' is totally reliable, like the Bible.
So, learning to trust the Bible begins with discovering things about what it contains and how those things have been proved to be true.
The following sections will help you trust the Bible:
Digging up the past is not everyone's favourite pass-time. But fortunately some people find it fun and have found out lots of facts about the past that confirm what the Bible says.
Throughout the Bible is the clear statement that God the world we live in, including us. We need reasons to trust that statement because we cannot ignore our responsibilities to our Creator.
Whether it's prophecy, or doctrine, or learning about how the first Christians lived their lives, there is plenty to read that will help you understand the Bible better, so you can trust it.
