Nuggets from “An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith” by Dave Hunt

Each world religion offers a system of belief and practice taught by its founder whereby one supposedly gains acceptance with God. No religion claims that its founder died for the sins of the world and was resurrected. Nor is it essential to any of the world’s religions that its founder be alive. Christianity, on the other hand, depends entirely upon Christ himself having died for our sins and being resurrected, presently alive, and living by His Spirit within His followers. Jesus said, “Because I live, ye shall live also” (John:14:19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
See All...).

Another unique feature of the Bible is its authorship. It was written by some forty different men over a period of about 1,600 years. Living in different cultures and at different times in history, most of them never knew one another. Yet the Bible comprises one intricately integrated message from Genesis to Revelation—without any internal contradictions. The continuity and remarkable content of the message can be explained only by inspiration from a supernatural Source. As the Bible grew, subsequent revelations were always consistent with what went before, supplementing, enlarging, and building thereupon.

These forty authors had only this in common: each claimed to be inspired by the one true God. If this claim is not true, the Bible is the greatest fraud imaginable and has done incalculable harm to billions. Yet it bears the unmistakable stamp of truth in many verifiable ways, and its unequaled moral effect for good could hardly be the fruit of fraud.
