3: Engineering of the UniverseThis “fine-tuning” of the universe is evidence of an all powerful and good creator of life. This has been and continues to be a compelling argument for God’s existence.

4: Standards and MoralityObjective morality can only be true if an objective moral law giver and enforcer (i.e. God) exists. If not, anything literally goes. We know anything doesn’t go so we know God exists. If you believe in objective morality, justice and ethics, you agree God must exist.

5: Truth about JesusThe gospel accounts are trustworthy and corroborated by history. The evidence for his life, death and resurrection is overwhelming. As C.S. Lewis states, Jesus was either a liar, lunatic or Lord and God. The evidence supports the latter! We can trust Him and the Bible He affirmed. That leads us to the validity of scripture.

6: Foretells the FutureSeveral hundred Biblical prophecies have been accurately fulfilled with more being fulfilled in modern times. This is conclusive evidence of God’s fingerprints on scripture. Jesus alone fulfilled more than 100 prophecies. There is no natural way to explain this away.

7: Archaeologically AccurateIt has been said that no archeological find has ever disproved the Bible. The Bible is historically accurate as God’s Word must be. Many archeological finds continue to affirm the trustworthiness of the Bible. The Bible’s accurate history requires that it be treated with respect.

8: CoherentThe Bible is coherent and contradiction free. Much has been made of the supposed contradictions in the Bible but these are easily cleared up with careful analysis. Most of these supposed contradictions arise due to our modern misunderstanding of the text. There are good answers for any contradictions the skeptic might bring up.

9: Translated CorrectlyPeople often try to equate the Bible with the “telephone game” not realizing the Bible’s reliability. There are many early manuscripts allowing us to know for certain what was written. The New Testament has been described as the most reliable ancient text. You can and should trust it!
