I was getting really worried.
How could I know for certain if the Bible is historically accurate?
But now, my questions are almost allayed.
IF (you see the word IF?) the date of a wall's construction in Jerusalem can be verified, the Bible might be true.
1st. The Bible has been proved time and again.
2nd, By faith we know... Faith is the evidence... Faith is the ground of trust... I believe God, regardless of whatever supposed evidence.
VERSES TO CONSIDER...
Biblical faith provides irrefutable evidence (vs.1), and produces unquestioning understanding, knowledge (vs.3).
HEBREWS 11:1, 3
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
3 Through faith we understand (perceive, know) that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Faith is essential to a right relationship with God.
HEBREWS 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Faith gets us into a right relationship with God and keeps us in a right relationship with God.
HEBREWS 3:12-14
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
Faith must be current in order to be saving faith.
JOHN 3:18-20
18 He that believes (present active participle) on him is not condemned (present indicative passive): but he that believes not (present active participle) is condemned already (perfect indicative passive), because he hath not believed (present indicative active) in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that does evil (present indicative middle) hates (present indicative) the light, neither comes to the light (present indicative middle), lest his deeds should be reproved.
