What Proof Is There That God and the Bible Is Real?
1) Direct answer
God is real, and the Bible is His Word. He proves Himself by creation, fulfilled prophecy, the risen Jesus Christ, the witness of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Word in changed lives, and His promises confirmed in those who believe.
2) Scriptural explanation
- Creation’s witness: The Bible says creation itself testifies of God. “The invisible things of Him… are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made” (Romans 1:20). “Every house is builded by some man; but He that built all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4). “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1).
- Fulfilled prophecy (Israel and the nations): God said Israel would be scattered and later gathered again (Deuteronomy 28:64; Ezekiel 36:24; Ezekiel 37:21–22; Hosea 3:4–5). We are living in the very hour the prophets spoke of; that sign nation stands as a living witness that the Word keeps its course.
- Fulfilled prophecy (Messiah): The Scriptures foretold the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), His suffering and atoning death (Isaiah 53), the piercing of His hands and feet and the casting of lots (Psalm 22:16–18), His being “cut off” after the appointed time (Daniel 9:26), and His resurrection (Psalm 16:10). Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled these; “God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16).
- The risen Christ: The Gospel declares Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day, seen by many witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:3–8). “This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses” (Acts 2:32). He is “the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
- The Bible’s own witness and power: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16). “The word of God is quick, and powerful… a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). “The word of our God shall stand for ever” (Isaiah 40:8).
- The inner witness and changed life: The Spirit bears witness with our spirit (Romans 8:16). “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17). “Such were some of you… but ye are washed… by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9–11).
- God’s confirmation to the obedient: Jesus said, “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine” (John 7:17). The Lord “confirmed the word with signs following” (Mark 16:20). Those who draw near in repentance and faith find Him true (James 4:8; Hebrews 11:6).
3) Simple clarifying logic
- Design demands a Designer. If a house requires a builder, how much more the universe? That’s exactly what Hebrews 3:4 says.
- Foretold events that come to pass show a Mind behind the Book. The prophecies about Israel and the Messiah are too exact to be accident.
- A dead man cannot raise himself. Jesus rose as the Scriptures said, and the same Jesus continues to change sinners into saints—exactly as the Word promises.
- The Bible reads you while you read it. Only the breath of God can pierce the heart and remake a life as Hebrews 4:12 describes.
4) Short reinforcement
Now notice, God does not hide from the honest heart. Come God’s provided way—repent, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and open the Bible. Ask Him to reveal Himself by His Word and Spirit. He promised, “You shall seek Me, and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). The God who wrote the Book will vindicate the Book to you.

Perseverance

Now He's still that same high priest---the Bible says so---that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. If you're real, real sick now, why don't you just by faith break beyond them sound barriers of the world---them sound barriers that say, "There's no such a thing. The days of miracles is past. There's no such a thing." Won't you break beyond that where you can be free, and touch his garment? And if He promised in the Bible that we would do the same thing He did, and I've brought the right message to you...
Proof of His resurrection

Now, if you've just got ... if you've got good reasoning, you'll sit down and try to reason out the Bible, reason: "How could He raise from the dead? How could these miracles and things take place today, in this great realm of civilization science that we live in?" You try to reason that out, you're just getting farther away from God all the time. You'll never know Him by reasoning. God is not known by reason. God is known by faith. You accept it. You believe it. You can't do it until something happens in you, then...

And that's our purpose here today, on this Easter morning, is to present to you the real, gospel truth. Nothing, and nobody, upon any organization, upon any foundation; only upon the gospel, simple truths of the Bible. I believe that it is the written Word of God. I believe it with all my soul, heart, mind, and being. And that's what I want to present to this, our little city here today, in this great marvelous thing that I have seen taking place around the world for the past ten years. We've tried many times to ha...
God provided a Lamb

A lady, here sometime ago, sent her boy away to school to learn to be a minister. So she'd taken real sick, and she sent to the school, and said for the boy to stand by. for the doctor said she might die. She had pneumonia in the worst stage. So the boy made ready to come home on a moment's call. And so, he didn't hear no more. Said next day his mother was all right, so he let it go. So when he come home on a vacation, he said to his mother, he said, "Mother," said, "what happened to you when you were so sick and y...
The infallible proof of the resurrection
57-0114 §22
We're taught in the Bible that Jesus was a Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world. We understand that He wasn't slain, really, until four thousand years later. But when God spoke the Word, it was a finished work when God spoke it. He was slain back here at the foundation of the world when God foresaw, and knew what He would do, and He spoke the word. And it was finished right there. And to give you a little courage... Which I find amongst the American Christians, that the great lack is is a fear. The American...
