Thirteen years ago, I conducted an informal survey of over 500 Email and Facebook Contacts, asking them what they thought were the most important questions people are asking today about God, Christianity, the Bible and life in general.
Based on this simple research, the number 1 question the participants thought people were asking was, “How do you know the Bible is true?”
73% of those surveyed thought this question was very important; while 21% thought of it as important. Only 6% thought it was unimportant. If the same survey is conducted today, I am sure the majority would still think this question is important, “How do you know the Bible is true?”
In obedience to 1 PETER 3:15 - which says to “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you….” I shall endeavor to answer this important question again, in honor of this holiest of books.
