Gospel UPLB

Please do read on. It'll only take about three minutes.

The Bible is not chosen as a primary guide for everyday living. If we know the Bible to be true, we shall find sense in living by it. However, little do most of us know about it. Let us try to remedy this problem by going through some evidences that verify the Bible's credibility.

• Unity of the Bible. It is composed of 66 individual books, was written in 3 continents, in 3 different languages, over a period of 1600 years, by 40 different people – through all these different factors, the Bible makes one cohesive whole with Jesus Christ as its central character.
• Bible's Indestructibility. It has lived through many attempts to destroy it. Today, it remains to be the most published book.
• Bible's Historical Accuracy. Jesus Christ, the Bible's central character, is historically factual. Archaeological discoveries agree with the Bible and so do other written documents.

Now you have faced the facts, what will you do? Simply knowing is not enough. We invite you to truly live by accepting the free gift of salvation in Jesus.
Pray – that is, talk to God; be sure to:

-Acknowledge His love
-Believe in your heart that Jesus is the only way, the Saviour
-Confess your sins
-Commit to make Him Lord over your life

Your prayer may be something like this:
Dear Lord, thank You for Your great love – that You chose to suffer death on the cross for me. I am a sinner and I need You. Thank You for choosing to save me. Thank You for forgiveness and eternal life. Please give me the strength to follow You, my Saviour. You are Lord over my life.

Think about it: "The evidence for Jesus' resurrection is so strong that nobody would question it except for two things: It is a very unusual event, and second, if you believe it happened, you have to change the way you live."
–Wolfhart Pannenberg, German theologian
