Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday, September 29th.

Scripter is not just a collection of stories filled with human ideas.

It's God's Word and its absolute truth.

Our series, The Book of Books, continues with more reasons to believe the Bible.

A friend of mine told me the son whose 10 years of age came to him and said, Dad, suppose there's no God. He said, Dad, and he said, my 10-year-old son was depressed. He'd been reading and thinking. He said, suppose there's no God. And so as a father, he began to explain to him. And so he knew that his father had listened to some of our tapes.

His father is a fine member of our fellowship? And he said, well, son, he says, is this something I can listen to?

So he gave his 10-year-old boy a copy of the sermon, our unshakable faith.

He said, my 10-year-old son went to his room, put it in his

paper recorder, and he played it all the way through. Then he played it again. He said,

he went to sleep playing it. He wake up listening to it, and he'd go back to sleep. He

wake up, listen to it. He said, he played it to the wee hours of the morning. He said,

next morning, he said, he came to me, he said the morning. He said, the next morning he said,

he came to me. He said, Dad, it's all settled. Now I'm sure there's a God. Now.

But suppose this father had not been a Christian, said, oh, son, well, you know, after all,

everybody's sort of believes in God, maybe. So what I would like to do in this message is give you some

very specific, definite reasons for you to believe that this book, which we call the Holy Bible,

is indeed the living word of the living God. It's a book by which you and I can live. It's a book

by which we find forgiveness of our sin and every other need in our life.

And it's the book by which you and I going to die by if we are believers, because herein lies

all the hope for life after this one, absolute eternal life, the gift of the grace of God,

which belongs to every single person who has trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Well, what are

those reasons? One of the reasons I'd like to give today is the fact the testimony of Jesus Christ himself.
