8 Ways We Know the Scriptures are Trustworthy
8 Ways We Know the Scriptures are Trustworthy
In a world filled with religious texts and spiritual claims, what makes the Bible uniquely trustworthy as the true Word of God? The answer is not grounded in blind faith but in a robust combination of internal consistency, historical reliability, prophetic accuracy, and supernatural transformation. Let’s explore eight key reasons Christians confidently affirm the Scriptures as divinely inspired and trustworthy.
1. Internal Coherence and Unified Theological Message
One of the most striking features of Scripture is its remarkable unity. Written over 1,500 years by more than 40 human authors—from kings to shepherds, prophets to fishermen all from multiple cultures in three languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek)—Scripture maintains an astonishing theological unity. It tells one consistent story of Yahuah’s (God's) redemptive plan for humanity through Yehusha (Jesus).
No single human—or group—could fabricate a narrative so cohesive across centuries, especially when you consider that many of the authors never met or knew of each other. As Tim Keller wrote, such harmony is “unprecedented in literature” and “strongly suggests divine orchestration rather than human invention.” Themes like covenant, sin, grace, judgment, and redemption appear consistently, even as they are developed progressively throughout the 60+ books.
Typology further strengthens Scripture’s coherence: for example, Adam as a type of Christ (Romans 5), the Passover lamb pointing to Jesus (1 Corinthians 5:7), or the tabernacle foreshadowing the indwelling presence of God with His people (John 1:14). C.S. Lewis, a former atheist turned Christian apologist, argued in his book Mere Christianity as well as his other works that the Gospels are best understood as historical reportage, not myth or legend. He famously wrote, “I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends and myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know none of them are like this.”
This unity strongly suggests a divine Author behind its many human writers.
2. Historical and Manuscript Reliability
Scripture’s reliability as a historical document is unparalleled among ancient literature.
The New Testament has over 5,800 Greek manuscripts and 24,000+ total manuscripts including Latin, Syriac, and Coptic. The earliest fragments date within decades of the original writings (e.g., the John Rylands fragment ~125 AD).
By contrast, Homer’s Iliad has fewer than 700 manuscripts, with the earliest full copy more than 500 years removed from the original composition. The preservation of Scripture across hostile empires and heresies shows divine protection and unparalleled textual integrity. Consider all the wars, destruction of buildings libraries and cultures and yet the text of scripture survives.
Moreover, textual criticism has enabled scholars to reconstruct the original text of Scripture with 99.5% accuracy for the New Testament. No other ancient text comes close.
3. Archaeological Support
Far from undermining Scripture, archaeology continues to confirm its historical accuracy.
The discovery of the Tel Dan Stele (1993–94) confirmed the historical existence of King David—once thought to be legendary.
The Cyrus Cylinder corroborates the decree of Cyrus allowing Jews to return and rebuild the temple as described in Ezra 1.
The Pool of Siloam (John 9) and Pontius Pilate inscription (Caesarea Maritima) have been unearthed, confirming details many skeptics once claimed were fabricated.
Mount Ebal’s altar, discovered by Adam Zertal, fits the biblical description in Joshua 8 and suggests early Hebrew worship practices.
Hebrew inscriptions in the Sinai Peninsula have been found etched into rocks and dated to the Late Bronze Age. Some contain early Semitic or proto-Hebrew characters and phrases such as “YAHUAH” (YHWH), supporting the idea of an Israelite presence in the area during the wilderness period.
At Jebel al-Lawz in northwestern Saudi Arabia, proposed by some as the real Mount Sinai (go watch The Search for the Real Mt. Sinai), the top of the mountain is blackened, suggesting it may have been scorched or melted by intense heat—consistent with the biblical account of God descending in fire (Exodus 19:18). While this location is debated, it aligns with clues in the biblical narrative far more precisely than the traditional Sinai Peninsula site.
Chariot wheels and coral-encrusted axles have been photographed and recovered from the floor of the Red Sea (Gulf of Aqaba) at a narrow crossing that some believe to be the biblical Yam Suph (Red Sea). These found artifacts, however controversial, match the biblical account in Exodus 14, where Pharaoh’s army was drowned after pursuing the Israelites.
Chariot wheels and coral-covered axles have been photographed and recovered from the floor of the Red Sea’s Gulf of Aqaba at a narrow underwater land bridge, aligning with the biblical crossing by Moses and the Israelites—also indicating the destruction of Pharaoh’s army as described in Exodus 14.
At the site widely believed to be Sodom and Gomorrah, near the southern end of the Dead Sea, archaeologists have found melted and scorched stone structures and embedded balls of pure sulfur (brimstone)—some over 90% pure, a rarity in nature. The surrounding terrain shows signs of intense, instantaneous heat, which fits Genesis 19’s description of divine fire and brimstone raining from the heavens to destroy the cities. These brimstone samples are geologically distinct from volcanic sulfur, further supporting the claim of an extraordinary judgment event.
These discoveries offer powerful corroborative evidence for the biblical record—not only in terms of geography and history, but also in showing that the miraculous events described in Scripture left lasting physical marks still observable today.
Archaeologist Nelson Glueck, a Jewish scholar, famously said, “It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference.”
4. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Preservation of Scripture
Discovered in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls provided manuscripts of the Old Testament dating as far back as 250 B.C., over a thousand years older than the previously known copies.
The Great Isaiah Scroll, for instance, is over 95% identical to the Masoretic Text from 1,000 A.D., demonstrating extraordinary preservation over centuries. This level of textual fidelity, maintained over centuries and through generations of scribes, reflects divine supervision—not mere human diligence.
This silences critics who claimed Scripture had been corrupted or changed over time.
5. Alignment with Extra-Biblical Historical Sources
Scripture is further corroborated by non-Christian historical sources, which verify key figures and events described in Scripture.
Josephus, a 1st-century Jewish historian, references Jesus, John the Baptist, James (the brother of Jesus), and events like the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. Tacitus, a Roman historian, mentions Jesus’ crucifixion under Pontius Pilate during Tiberius’s reign. Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, and others affirm the early spread of Christianity and its impact on Roman society.
These external testimonies don’t replace Scripture but affirm that the biblical narrative was not written in a vacuum or fabricated long after the fact.
6. Prophetic Fulfillment and Supernatural Accuracy
One of the most compelling evidences for Scripture’s divine authorship is its record of detailed, long-range prophecies—many of which were fulfilled hundreds of years after they were written and corroborated by historical accounts outside of the Scriptures.
The Old Testament contains more than 300 prophecies concerning the Messiah, fulfilled in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. These prophecies were written centuries before Christ’s birth, yet align precisely with His historical life, verified by Roman and Hebrew records.
Prophecies About Nations:
The fall of Babylon was foretold in Isaiah 13 and Jeremiah 51, more than 150 years before the event. History confirms Babylon fell to the Medo-Persian empire in 539 B.C.—a rare instance of an empire conquered without a siege, exactly as Isaiah predicted (Isaiah 45:1). The destruction of Tyre was prophesied in Ezekiel 26. Alexander the Great fulfilled this 250 years later by scraping the island fortress into the sea to build a land bridge—a feat archaeologists and historians still marvel at today. Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple: Jesus Himself predicted the destruction of the Second Temple (Matthew 24:1–2, Luke 21:5–6), which was fulfilled in 70 A.D. under the Roman general Titus. This event is well-documented by Josephus, the Jewish historian, who provided a vivid account of the temple’s fall and the city’s devastation.

This event is well-documented by Josephus, the Jewish historian, who provided a vivid account of the temple’s fall and the city’s devastation.
Biblical prophecy differs sharply from vague fortune-telling: it is specific, measurable, and historically verifiable. The long time between prophecy and fulfillment rules out post-facto invention. Matt Chandler, in The Explicit Gospel, argues that no other religious text offers this level of predictive prophecy validated by history. These fulfilled prophecies testify to divine foreknowledge, not human speculation.
Mathematician Peter Stoner once calculated the odds of just 8 of the Messianic prophecies being fulfilled in one person to be 1 in 10^17—a statistical impossibility without divine orchestration. The number 1 × 10¹⁷ written out fully is: 100,000,000,000,000,000
(that’s 100 quadrillion).
This means the odds of one person fulfilling just 8 of the major Messianic prophecies by chance are 1 in 100 quadrillion.
To help visualize this, imagine the state of Texas—which spans about 268,000 square miles. Now imagine the entire state two feet deep in silver dollars. Mark one single silver dollar with a red X. Then mix all the silver dollars thoroughly across the entire state. Now blindfold a person, and tell them they can travel anywhere in Texas, but they are allowed to pick up only one coin.
What are the odds that they pick the marked silver dollar on the first try? You guessed it. 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000—exactly the same as 1 in 10¹⁷. Stoner’s work was reviewed and endorsed by the American Scientific Affiliation at the time, who deemed the mathematical analysis to be sound.
7. The Testimony of Christ and the Witness of the Holy Spirit
Jesus Himself affirmed the authority and inspiration of the Hebrew Scriptures and promised the Spirit would guide His apostles into all truth (John 16:13). To trust Christ is to trust His view of Scripture. He viewed the Old Testament as authoritative, quoted it frequently, and declared, “Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35). Jesus quoted Scripture often, saying, “It is written” (Matt. 4:4), and affirmed it “cannot be broken” (John 10:35). He referenced figures like Jonah, Noah, Job, Moses, and Abraham not as mythological but historical (Matt. 12:40; John 8:58).
Belief in Christ leads naturally to belief in Scripture and vise-versa. You cannot affirm Jesus as Lord and reject His high view of Scripture.
Additionally, the Holy Spirit testifies within believers, as Romans 8:16 and 1 Corinthians 2:10-14 attest. This “internal witness” makes the Scriptures come alive, affirming their authority not merely in the mind, but in the heart.
8. Scripture’s Supernatural Impact on Individuals and Societies
Finally, Scripture’s ability to transform lives and entire cultures points to its divine origin.
C.S. Lewis, once a rationalist and atheist, found himself convinced by Scripture’s power and coherence. In Mere Christianity, he writes, “A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher… You must make your choice.” The spread of literacy, abolition of slavery, establishment of hospitals, and formation of modern law in the West were all deeply influenced by Scripture. Tim Keller notes the gospel’s unique cultural adaptability: it affirms aspects of all cultures while challenging each one. No human-created system does that consistently.
Scripture is not merely a human artifact or religious guide—it is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. We can trust Scripture because:
Its internal unity is miraculous.
Its manuscripts are reliably preserved.
Its history is confirmed by archaeology.
Its text is verified by the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Its narrative aligns with external historical accounts.
Its prophecies are fulfilled supernaturally.
Its authority was affirmed by Christ Himself.
Its power changes lives across time and cultures.
As R.C. Sproul once said, “The Bible is the Word of God in such a way that when the Bible speaks, God speaks.”
The evidence is overwhelming. The Bible is not just an ancient book of moral sayings or religious traditions—it is a supernatural revelation from the eternal, personal Elohiym who speaks into human history. Its unity across centuries, its manuscript reliability, its confirmation by archaeology and history, its detailed prophetic fulfillment, and its transformative power in every culture it touches all cry out with one voice: this book is not from man—it is from Elohiym Yahuah.
Unlike any other religious text, the Bible uniquely predicts the future with specificity, aligns with verifiable historical records, and produces supernatural life change confirmed across languages, nations, and generations. Yahusha, the central figure of all history, affirmed its divine origin and fulfilled what it foretold—not vaguely, but with precise fulfillment across centuries.
To ignore Scripture is not merely intellectually careless—it is spiritually perilous. But to trust it is to place your confidence in a foundation that will never fail. The Bible is trustworthy—reflecting its Author.
Scripture and it's trustworthiness reflects the depth and perfection of the deity of Elohiym, revealing his character of truth, goodness, love, patience, and sovereignty. The truth of scripture is shines and gives life to those who read and believe it. It’s not just merely ancient manuscripts but it is alive and active as the beautiful and powerful word of Elohiym.
The Word of God is alive and sharper than a two edged sword. We can use it to discern what is right and good and by living by it, we can be blessed. The scripture instructs us and in the ways of Yahuah and how by us having faith in him and believing that Yahusha is Elohiym, then we can be saved. The law or Torah is beneficial for our lives and health as we live here on earth everyday. It points to Yahusha as our Ha Machiak. Our salvation and justification comes from faith in Yahusha alone and the Scripture points us to that. The words of Yahuah our Elohiym are perfect and true—bringing life and joy, strength and peace, hope and love—all to the glory of Yahuah our Elohiym.
