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.

Watch him. He thought he destroyed it. Then Satan started his great corruptible, vile lie, when he said to the soldiers, "Go up there to the high priest, the intellectuals, the scholars, the big church." And let me say this with respects and with reverence. No time in the Bible or after this side of the Bible did a servant of the living God ever tolerate with the known ecclesiastical realms. Do you follow me? Maybe I say this. That in the days of the prophets, they were against the theology of the day. In the days...

Just be real reverent now. The one thing that's always puzzled me has been this: is the emotions of people in the presence of God, what it does to them. Something strikes you. There's something happens. Good evening, sir. We are two men, I suppose, to meet for our first time on earth. I do not know you, and perhaps you don't know me. That's right, isn't, sir. Yes, sir. I don't know you. But if you're sick, I couldn't heal you. If you are desiring something, if it's from God, I couldn't give it, see. And if you are...
Proof of His resurrection

Now... So in order to get the truth to man, to God, God sent His own Son, made in likeness of sinful flesh, and He was born here on earth. And was a propitiation for our sins, offered up at the day at Calvary, to take away our sins, and to give us liberty, and to set us free from the prison houses that we've been in. Now, man is a prisoner. God said that a man was a prisoner. So until something has happened to the man... I want you to get this now. That before this certain thing called the new birth, ever happens t...

Now, you see, here it is, my brother and sister. I want you to notice this real close. The reason that is is this. Today men... In the days of the Lord Jesus, in the days of the Testaments when men believed in God, they heard of a miracle being performed; they never tried to scientifically prove it. They accepted it. They just believed it, for they knowed that God was. But today, the infidelic group has got into the religious moves, and he's so trying to prove things scientifically. And let me say this as it's comi...
