The Bible is filled with information that is nothing short of life-changing. We go to the Scriptures to learn about who we are, who God is, and how to find eternal life with Him. Before we believe its content, we first have to accept and believe that the Bible itself is from God. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez guides us through the reasons we can trust the Bible really is the Word of God.
