The Bible could not accomplish this if it were seriously corrupted in its message or if it were lost. Thus God has simply kept His promise to us and has continued to accomplish His sovereign purposes. This leads us to two truths about God that every Christian is grateful for. He wants to communicate with His people. He loves and wants to speak with us.
Love always dictates communication.
Thus it is not difficult for us who believe in a God of love to really believe that He has given us prophets to proclaim His word and His Son to incarnate that Word. Nor is it difficult for us to believe that He has perpetuated that witness in a volume for all mankind, the Bible. God loves us enough to protect and vindicate that Word. As He protected Jesus until He had accomplished His mission, He has protected and will protect the Bible until it has accomplished its mission. As He in many ways vindicated the claims of Jesus about Himself, He has also vindicated His Word in many ways.
