We now know what the Bible is — and that leads us to an even bigger question: why do we Christians place so much faith in something that is, in the end, ink on paper?
The answer may vary from one person to another, but we all share one common conviction...
The Bible is, and always will be, the Word of the Lord. With this in mind, it means that it will never change. It is constant — a timeless guide that always directs us back to God.
And yet, this is precisely where the struggle lies. As humans, we naturally resist submitting to anyone else’s authority — especially to a Being who is unseen, yet has established clear structures for how to live a good and righteous life in accordance with His will.
What many fail to understand is that these structures are not foreign or oppressive. They are the very same principles parents teach their children: do not steal, do not lie. They are the foundations of national laws: do not kill, do not commit injustice. Yet, because these teachings come from God — who calls us to submit to Him — many reject them, not because the principles are wrong, but because submission itself feels offensive to human pride.
With God being described as all-good, all-powerful, and all-loving, we often elevate the comparison of joy and perfection. We begin to reason that such a perfect Being cannot exist, because in our limited experience, perfection is unattainable. This leads us to question God, failing to realize that His wisdom surpasses human understanding.
