Examining the Evidence of Biblical Confirmation

 Confirmation is an important factor in life, as seen in courts, marriage license, adoption, power of attorney, wills, etc.  Confirmation can be established by a notary public: clerks who have been certified and licensed by a state to witness, sign and certify the legality of certain legal documents and proceedings. The main purpose for notary publics is to prevent forgery and fraud.

 Confirmation is no less important in our religion God gives us mankind assurance that what he said is true (Mk. 16:19-20; Gal. 3:15-17; Heb. 2:3-4; 6:16-17; 1 Tim. 3:13) We do not have to rely on a “blind faith” (Lk. 1:1-4; 24:44; Heb. 11:1) God gives us a “firm covenant” (Dan. 9:27) … let us consider how he does this

 By angelic beings (Lk. 2:10-11; 24:4)  By wise men from the East (Mt. 2:1-2)  By John the Baptist (Jn. 1:6-7,29; 5:30-47)  By Moses and Elijah (Mt. 17:1-5)  By Jesus’ Apostles (2 Pet. 1:16-18)

 By Jesus’ teaching (Mt. 7:28-29; Jn. 7:45-46)  By Jesus’ miraculous signs / wonders while living (Mk. 2:5-12)  By Jesus’ holy life (Mk. 14:55-56)  By a crucified thief (Lk. 23:42-43)  By Jesus’ resurrection (Rom. 1:4; Acts 1:3; 1 Cor. 15:6)

 By changed lives… Peter and John (Acts 4:13) Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8:4-13) Saul of Tarsus (Gal. 1:23-24; Phil. 3:5-7; 1 Tim. 1:13-16)

 By evil demonic enemies (Lk. 4:41)  By prejudiced Jewish enemies (Jn. 3:1-2; 11:45-47; 12:11-12; Acts 4:16)  By hardened Roman enemies (Mt. 27:23,54)  When your avowed enemy gives testimony on your behalf, you know you are on solid ground.

 Numerous documents by secular writers confirm the events of the Bible: Suetonius, Josephus, etc.  Numerous archaeological discoveries confirm the events of the Bible

 Doubting your own Christianity? Think of your confirmation  Thinking of switching religions? Think of your confirmation  There is none so blind as those who refuse to see
