Recently, our church completed a series called "40 Days in the Word." The main purpose was to teach people the hows and whys of reading the Bible. We talked about things like
- How do I know the Bible is true?
- How do I know that the Bible hasn't changed?
- How do I study the Bible?
- Why is a daily Bible study time necessary?
- Why do I need to read the Bible for myself?
- How does it apply to my life?
This series was great, mostly because people took is seriously. I read the Bible cover-to-cover in high school. I really started a daily devotional time in college. It changed me. For example, I used to have a terrible temper. And that temper starts to crawl back if I miss my devotional time for a period.
Said simply, I know the Bible is true not just from historical evidence, but from personal experience.
If you don't have a devotional time, I'd recommend that you start.
