The God We Believe In - #27
Around the world you will find many gods. There are still many pagan gods worshipped through idols.

The God of the Bible is the most believed in God. There are many differing beliefs about God. And He is worshipped in many differing ways. But He is the God most people accept.

All that we know about Jehovah God is taught in the Bible. God is mentioned by name over 11,000 times in the Bible. There are about 32,000 verses in the Bible, so God is mentioned there by name on an average of once in every three verses.

How did we get the scriptures in the Bible? The Bible teaches us that God used prophets inspired by the Holy Spirit to produce them (2 Peter 1:21). Jesus told His apostles that the Holy Spirit would guide them into all the truth (John 16:13). Christ also said God’s word was truth (John 17:17). Reading the Bible produces faith in God (Romans 10:17).

John Clayton was born to parents who were both atheists. During his growing up years he heard that there were contradictions in the Bible. In college a professor told him that also. John asked the professor where the contradictions were. The professor refused to answer. John decided he would find them for himself. He read the Bible through, and never found any. He read it through four times without finding any contradictions. He got half way through the Bible again and suddenly realized there were no contradictions in the Bible. He became a believer in God. He became a Christian, and has spent his life lecturing on his faith in God. He has turned many unbelievers to God.

The Bible is a complete book about God. Read 2 Timothy 3:16, 17. More on next Web page
