Hello Saints and Defenders of the Faith. I want to help people understand about the Word of God. Sometimes people say, well, you know, God, excuse me, man wrote the Bible, not God. So it could not be as unique as you say it is. It can't be as true as you say it is. It can't be perfect because we know man are flawed. So since we know man is flawed, then man could not have written a Bible with no flaws in it. I agree with that. Man, mankind is flawed. And without the power of the Holy Spirit or without being led by the Holy Spirit, whatever we do has some kind of flaw in it because we're flawed. This is why we need to have faith and trust in that which is not flawed, which is the Word of God. Because the Word of God had the assistance of the Holy Spirit in order for it to be written. It was not solely by man alone. Man was led by the Holy Spirit as it was written. This is why you can find so many prophecies in the Bible that have come true or is yet to come true. There are no prophecies in the Bible that supposed to have come true, but didn't. There are so many prophecies in the Bible, let's say about Jesus Christ alone, that it is statistically impossible for Jesus Christ not to be the Messiah that the Bible says he is. I heard that the statistical impossibility of Jesus Christ not being the Messiah, not being the Son of God, is the same as you filling the state of Texas one foot deep with coins. Think about this. You filling the state of Texas one foot deep of coins. Then you take one of those coins and you paint it black. Then you fly over with a helicopter somewhere in Texas, drop it in the middle of Texas, and if you had the power, shake up all of these coins in Texas. The impossibility of Jesus Christ not being the Messiah that the Bible says he is is the same impossibility of you being blindfolded and you reaching down the very first time and picking up that painted black or that painted coin the very first time in all of the state of Texas. That is statistically impossible for you to do. This is another reason why we can stand on, believe, and trust in the Word of God and know that the Word of God is not written by man. As a matter of fact, Scripture here says that, I believe this is 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 21, it says, For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were led or as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. I want to read that again. It says, For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. So man being moved by the Holy Spirit is the reason why we can trust the Bible because the Bible was written by man, moved by the Holy Spirit. And the odds of the Bible being wrong is, I would say, the same. I didn't do a statistical analysis, but I would be the same as you reaching down that corridor and picking up that coin out of the state of Texas among one foot deep of coins all over the state of Texas. So again, brothers and sisters, you can trust the Word of God because it is the Word of God. So continue to stand firm, continue to believe and trust in your faith. Don't let anybody deter you. You can trust what God's Word says. And remember, our job is correctly interpreting what it says that we may apply it to our life. God bless you. See you next time.
