KEY SCRIPTURE; John 19:35 KJV “And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.”

The Bible has come to us through various accounts or sources. Some accounts were recorded through a divine revelation as Moses did for the creation of the earth. Luke the recorder of the books of Luke and Acts of the Apostle said the following about how He developed his first book. Luke 1:3 KJV” It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,” Luke says he put down His record by making contacts with those who were eyewitnesses of the events in Jesus’ day and therefore recorded the outcome of his findings. Could such a work be the word of God, yes. The inspiration of scripture wasn’t by a mechanical dictation by the Spirit of God. The recorders wrote with their backgrounds, yet the Spirit moved over them, assuring them to write. What God seeks to communicate to men who read the scriptures is the divine hand of God seen in these events.

John the Apostle who recorded the gospel of John, says he was an eyewitness of all that transpired during the passion of our Lord Jesus. John saw the trial of the master, He was there when the Lord carried his cross, he stood close to the cross when the Lord made various statements while hanging on the cross. He was there when the legs of the two prisoners beside Jesus were broken, Jesus’ legs were not broken, but a spear was pierced through His side, giving out water and blood.  John says he wrote the things he saw, and that makes an accurate recording of the events.

Dear one, the bible is a very reliable document that teaches us about, God, men, sin, and a whole lot of issues that if one is to pattern his life after, he would surely have a great life. The Bible teaches that the man who follows the instructions of scripture would be well furnished with every good thing. Anyone who has diligently followed the writings of scripture has experienced the very life and power that the scriptures talk about. You can never be miserable leading your life according to the word of God.
