Biblical Accuracy

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Biblical accuracy. If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things? John three twelve. Many who profess to be Christian intellectuals today are arguing that we should defer to the evolutionist in matters of science and history, since the real message of the Bible is spiritual.

The Genesis account, for example, is not meant to give us details of the events of creation, for scientists can give us this information. It merely assures us that God is somehow behind it all. But if this were all that God meant to tell us, it's very First verse is enough for that. What is the need to describe all the days and acts of creation at all if the record has no real relevance to history or science? As the Lord Jesus told Nicodemus in our text, if we cannot trust God's word when it relates earthly things, how can we possibly rely on its testimony of heavenly things?

To some extent, we can check ourselves whether or not it is accurate when it records facts of history and processes of nature, but we have no means at all of determining whether it speaks the truth when it deals with heaven and hell, salvation and eternal life, or God's purpose for the world and the ages to come. The fact is that the Bible is accurate in all matters with which it deals, scientific and historical. As well as spiritual and theological, it is a dangerous thing to listen to these modern pied pipers of evangelicalism, whose self-serving compromises with evolutionary scientism have already led multitudes of young people astray in our Christian colleges and seminaries. We yet may not have all the answers to alleged problems in the Bible, but we can be absolutely sure of God's word. When the answers are found, they will merely confirm what He has said all along.

He is able and willing to speak the truth, and He means what He says.
