Why do I choose to believe the Bible?


A question that would define my existence and my belief. Is it not illogical, some might ask. Science is a better answer. Here is my take.... Might not be flawless. But this is how I want to put it across.....

God and covenants - a beautiful story. When we look through the Bible,  Everything that He has said, would come to pass, would definitely come true 
Retrospectively; when all the pieces of the puzzles are finally fit, we see one beautiful painting that God Himself was orchestrating. That He is a covenant keeping God. That He is true. That He would keep His word.

And none of His covenant He has failed to keep. None He has broken. None of His promises He has failed to fulfil.
God is true. True to His word. True to Himself. No matter what.

* God's promise to Abraham, Issac and Jacob about the promised land.
* God's covenant with mankind in the garden of Eden that a Saviour is coming.
* God's covenant with Noah, that He wouldn't destroy the earth yet again with water.
* God's word to Israel, that they would go into exile because of their irreverence and disobedience.
* He promised a Saviour King.
* He told well ahead of this Saviour's gruesome death and resurrection.

All came to pass. That is the one reason why I choose to believe that Jesus is coming back again.

Secondly there has been enough personal covenants which I have had with this God. As i spent time with Him, umpteen number of promises He hath given through His word and all of them He hath fulfilled down the timeline. Some might not agree with this - taking the word of God as personal promises. But I have seen His word being multidimensional - theological and personal at the same time. What is written years ago is true for me right now.
I have received healing.
I have received love and encouragement which no one could offer.
I have received miracles.
I have received promises fulfilled.
I have received admonitions and course corrections.
That is why I choose to believe all that is written in here is true. History and my personal life holds a testimony.

    The dependence to have trust and faith in the word of God is an important factor in our lives. That dependence is important. Nice Amit mon. Good thoughts.

      Historically proven. Biblically proven. Personally proven

Enslaved

Rom:6:22 Enslaved to God. I want to be enslaved to God. I want to do things which please God. I want to come out of the slavery I'm stuck in. Where I am forced to do things which I hate to do. As a new creation, slave to righteousness I am made. I am free indeed, but slave to God. I want to be a man after God's own heart. I want to be a person doing the right things. Making the right choices. Seeing the right things. Hearing the right things. Filling my heart with the right things. I want to hate things which I once loved. I want to resist my old master and surrender to my rightful Lord. Reciprocate the Agape Love to me. Unconditional love that loves me without any tags. I want to be a man who thinks only about my God. Always. I want to, but I am unable to. I fall miserably again, yet again. Creating wounds and scars around me and in me. Scars that are difficult to heal. Still my selfishness I pursue. The old man forces me. Though I need not listen to his voice. And...

Son

Rom:8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. We are His children. His very own. We are His beloved. The King of kings. We have the privilege to call Him Abba Father. Heirs of God. Co-heirs with Christ. Will not this Almighty Abba Father give you everything you need? Will not He protect you from every danger? Will not He provide for you and care for you? Then what precludes your absolute trust. Why don't you believe that you are standing on hard Rock? Solid Rock?  Yes you love Him, but do you trust Him?

Rom:1:8

Yesterday, after the India vs Australia ICC WWC semifinal, these words hung in the air after the player of the match Jemimah Rodrigues was given the stage. Your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world. Rom:1:8 A church which was not even started by Paul. Paul wouldn't probably have known these people personally.  But he commends their faith. You want to be a silent Christian because you are not a bold Christian. Do your colleagues know that you are a Christian? Not by name. Is there a difference between you and the nominal Christian? Between you and the carnal Christian? Do you freely proclaim that the author and finisher of your faith is Jesus?  Image credit: https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/womens-world-cup-2025-cried-every-single-day-went-through-anxiety-jemimah-rodrigues-opens-up-after-historic-knock-against-australia/?amp=1

Support

If God is for us who can be against us? Rom:8:31 This is not like a match, where the home team gets the crowd support. And because of the massive crowd support, you are motivated to do your best. You therefore perform well and then you win. Crowd is for you.  But sometimes it will not work that way. That support may often backfire. You will be pressurized to perform well and then you crumble. When St. Paul says that, if God is for us who can be against us, that is not in that sense. He is with you in the game. The nearest similitude is like, the GOAT is playing for your team.  Even then you might lose the game. But not when God is on your side. You are sure to win. Because of many reasons. He is God. He loves you so much. He has plans to prosper you. Image credit:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQOQNQdj3Xf/

Bane lifted

Rom:8:12 So then brethren, we are under obligation not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. You are not destined to slavery. You are not destined to curse. You are out of all jinx. No obligation. V:11 He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. You need not struggle in any familial trait. All bane has been cancelled. On the cross. By the blood of the unblemished Lamb you have been washed clean. A new creation you are. Abundant life you are called for. Then why this struggle? It's fine. Keep submitting to the Holy Spirit in you. It's a process. Do not worry. Do not be angry. Do not be anxious. Do not fret. Do not fall into the trap you have been falling recurrently. The trap which subtlizes you. Life to the fullest is yours for the taking. In Jesus Christ. Image credit: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/452189618836552880/

The big picture

Rom:8:28 And we know that, God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. - And we know that. It is a surity. Not a hypothesis. Nor a proposal that needs to be proved. Not an idea that needs to be tested. It is a proven fact. My response is to just believe. - God causes. It is not a product of chance. It is God who works behind everything. The Eternal Supreme being. The Creator and Sustainer behind the Universe. The Almighty King of kings. Now works all things together for you. - All things to work together. Not few things. All things. Your life is in His hands. And no one can snatch you away. -  For good. For your ultimate good. The ultimate good is not something which you dream about. He is not a magic wand to make your wish come true. The ultimate good is your transformation into the Son's likeness . So anything that happens outside your plan, any wreck that you are involved in, will ultimatel...

Essential doctrines of Christianity

Rom:8:29-30 Foreknew-Predistined-Called-Justified-Glorified. Each of these words is a basic doctrine which needs to be studied. Foreknew - knew before hand. Even before we were born. Even before the foundations of the earth was laid. He knew me. Because He is my Creator. He is my Father. And loves me. Predestined- God's plan of choosing me happened even  before I existed. That doesn't negate my role in my salvation. But He chose me when I least deserved it. It was not you who chose me, but I chose you, Jesus says. Called - The calling was given to be reinstated by God. It was initiated by God. Not that I found Him. But He found me out  Justified - And because of the salvation offered to me, I stand justified. Just as if I never sinned. Washed clean by the blood of the spotless and blemishless love of Jesus. Glorified - The most perplexing and intriguing word. Not will be glorified. He has glorified. The reward of the glorified body we will get in eternity to come f...
