Is God's Word True?

I recently had a discussion with a person who has a difficult time believing in God's word as it is stated in the Bible.  They constantly think about things such as the fact how does one know if what is in the Bible is actually God's words.  I can tell you that this is a question that everyone in the universe who has existed, does exist and or will exist has wrestled with.  The world system and the devil don't want God's way of doing things because it means that if what the Bible declares is truth than people will have to change their behavior to reflect what God expects.  The reason people question God's word is they hope to keep control of their life and the way they choose to live it by saying that God's word is not authentic.  How do I know that God's word is true?  When a man who is religious extremist who kills Christians changes his life from that position to one who becomes the greatest apostle in the Bible this shows me that God's word has power to change lives from one extreme to the other.  Obviously I am talking about the Apostle Paul.  There are many other examples and other witnesses that one can draw from including many of the apostles of Christ who as the first witnesses of the risen Christ were willing to lay down their lives for what they had witnessed.  Would a man lay down his life for a lie?  I think not.  Jesus Christ is a authentic person of history who either was the Savior of mankind or the biggest deceiver that mankind has ever known.  When it comes down to making a decision on Christ it still comes down to faith.  Do you want to believe Christ is who He said He was or not?  Take a look at the facts.  Books written by Josh McDowell like Evidence that demands a Verdict and Ray Comfort's How to know God Exists:  Scientific Proof of God are excellent materials in helping one weigh the facts.  After looking at the facts it will still require one's faith to be exercised in God before changes will occur.  Will you join me in this journey of faith.  I pray that you will.
