Proof from impact

 

No other book has had the impact for good as has the Bible. 
 
No other book answers the basic questions of life, such as: Where did the world come from?  Where did I come from? What is the meaning of life?  What happens after I die?

 

No other book has caused more construction of hospitals, schools, and orphanages as has the Bible.

 

No other book champions freedom as does the Bible.  Western civilization and concepts of political freedom came from the Bible.  For that reason, political and religious despots hate it and try to stamp it out.

 

No other book has brought comfort, peace, purpose, and joy to billions, and radically changed lives, as has the Bible.

 

No other book proclaims moral law as does the Bible, promises eternal justice for those who disregard it, yet offers a merciful method, if accepted, of acquittal - the provision  being the substitutionarysacrifice of God's only Son.  FormerCambridgeUniversityprofessor of philosophy Derek Prince calls the Bible "the most logical book in the world."

 

If a major attribute of God is love, as the Bible declares, the positive fruits of love that have come forth from the Bible are major evidences that God is the author.  People who have committed violence falsely in the name of Christianity were not followers of Jesus Christ, who said, "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:35).
