Incredible Testimony The Bible is True

To the best of my memory, before I came to the saving grace of Jesus  Christ, I did not believe the Bible was true.  I doubted whether God,  Satan, heaven, or hell even existed.  I believed that we were born,  lived so many years, and then died.  I had my own business and thought  that I had succeeded by my own wits.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One evening, my wife and I heard some documentation that these  were the last days before Jesus Christ would actually return.  Not  wanting to hear it, I almost walked out.  Something kept me there, and I  listened but was not convinced; however, I decided to do some research  to find out if the Bible was really true.  Indeed, if I could find one  contradiction or anything that was not true, then I could disregard it.   I believed this would not take long.  This led me into much research.  I  learned nearly one-third of the Bible is, directly or indirectly,  related to prophecy, which includes about 10,000 prophecies.  One thing  needed was to determine when the Bible was actually written.  Thus, a  study of biblical history, various translations, and archaeology was  necessary.  The Dead Sea Scrolls, which were found in Israel, contained  parts of the Old Testament, including prophecies of the coming of Jesus.   It has been proven that these were written before Christ came.   Thousands of clay tablets and archaeological sites also confirm many  accounts in the Bible.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I took time off and began studying the prophecies.  My wife would  spend much time at the library.  She obtained documentation for me from  reference books, which I would check against the Scriptures to see if  the prophecies took place.  One week went by and then a month.  Every  prophecy that we were able to get information on proved to be accurate.   I was astonished, but still not convinced.  Later, there were people  who would show me what appeared to be contradictions in the Bible.   These were not contradictions, but only a lack of research on the part  of those that said these things.  Stubborn, that’s me.  Even after four  months of intensive study, proving prophecy after prophecy was true, I  was still skeptical.  Four months turned into six.  I became more  determined.  It wasn’t possible that the sixty–six books of the Bible,  written by many people over hundreds of years, would not have some  errors, I thought.  Thousands of prophecies and every one perfect? No,  impossible! If I would admit that, then I would also have to admit there  was a God.  I was not prepared to do that—yet, I wanted to know the  truth.  More months passed.  Finally, I had to admit after spending  almost countless hours of research—I was wrong.  I may have been the  biggest skeptic in the world, but now I know—the Bible is true and is  the perfect Word of God.  Anyone willing to do the same research could  only come to the same conclusion, if they are honest.  I became afraid  that I would perish.  I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, the only  begotten Son of God, as a result of His love, compassion, mercy and  grace.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I know that there is none other name under heaven given among men  whereby we MUST be saved (EXCEPT    JESUS)–ref Acts 4:12.  I REPENTED of my sins and received Jesus Christ  as my only hope of salvation by FAITH–ref Eph 2:8–10.  It is written,  EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT  ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN–Mt 18:3.  You can also call on Jesus NOW to  be YOUR Lord and Savior.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have shown that the Bible is God’s Word.  Now you are faced  with a decision.  Will you ignore what you have learned, or will you  surrender your life to Jesus?  If you had a sudden heart attack or the  Rapture came in the next five minutes, are you sure you are ready to  meet God?  You may say, "I believe I’m a good person.  I sing in the  choir.  I attend church and give offerings." The Bible says all of your  righteous deeds ARE AS FILTHY RAGS.  You may be religious and go to  church, but if you died right now—you would perish to hell.  Why?  Because you have not been born-again.  You may say, "Well my church  never preaches like this."  Will you trust your religion or what the  Bible says? If you choose not to accept God’s way to enter heaven, then  you are choosing eternal separation from God.
