The Bible addresses humanity's most complex mysteries. Its stories, adages, accounts, and parables offer us glimpses into the meaning of life, the reality of eternity, and the nature of supernatural beings. The Bible's content is often hard to fully wrap our minds around. It’s only natural that Scripture sparks questions.
Often, we find ourselves wondering:
How do we know the Bible is truly the Word of God?
Why does God appear to be different in the Old Testament?
Why is there so much of the Bible I just don’t understand?
Are there contradictions in the Bible? How do I handle them?
Questions like these are all a part of our faith journey. We can’t learn or grow as believers without investigating God’s word. We must lean into our questions, allowing them to draw us closer to God.
Even the men and women featured in the Bible wrestled with difficult questions; they had doubts, reacted with fear, and often suffered. God is not threatened by sincere questions, and Christians can approach the Bible with humility and honesty, asking God to reveal his truth to us over time.
