Why Trust the Bible? - Part 14 by Dr. Joe L. Mott on Jan. 5, 2026

References: (1) The Gospel documents pass J. Warner Wallaces’s 4 part test for the credibility of witnesses. (2) “Basic Christianity” by John Stott. (3) Jesus’ own viewpoint concerning His deity. (4) The rapid pace of Mark’s Gospel is emphasized by the Greek word “eutheos” whose means “immediately” or “straightway.” (5) Mark identifies John the Baptist as the coming messenger. (6) We can identify the works of Jesus’ deity because He did what only God can do. Jesus was Creator, Savior, the Giver of Life. Jesus told Martha, “I am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25). (7) The book, “12 Points That Show Christianity is True” by Norman Geisler and Doug Potter show that Jesus accepted worship on 10 occasions. (8) Jesus’ words, actions, miracles, and resurrection point to His deity. (9) I challenge you to recognize His authority, believe in Him, receive Him as Savior and Lord, worship Him, and follow Him.
