How to Know the Bible Is the Word of God

Adrian Rogers delivers a powerful, conviction-driven message on why the Bible is uniquely the Word of God, arguing that its authority rests not on human opinion but on divine design. He begins with a striking claim: the Bible is the only book that addresses the three fundamental human problems—sin, sorrow, and death—and offers real solutions. Rogers challenges modern skepticism by showcasing the Bible’s scientific accuracy centuries ahead of modern discovery, citing Job’s declaration that God 'hangs the earth upon nothing' and Isaiah’s use of the word for 'sphere' long before astronomy confirmed the Earth’s roundness. He contrasts this with ancient myths of the earth resting on pillars, elephants, or a serpent, emphasizing that the Bible’s truths were not derived from human wisdom but divine revelation. Rogers then turns to historical accuracy, revealing how archaeology confirmed the existence of Belshazzar—once dismissed as fictional—proving the Bible’s reliability even in seemingly minor details. He warns that the greatest threat to the Bible isn’t opposition from outside, but the quiet disregard of believers who treat it as a secondary text. The message culminates in a call to action: salvation, growth, and assurance all depend on a firm belief in the Bible’s divine origin. This isn’t about blind faith—it’s about trusting a book that has withstood centuries of scrutiny, scientific progress, and historical challenge.
