How to Know that the Bible Is the Word of God.

THE Bible comes to men as the Word of God. In every part it speaks to men as from God and upon the authority of God. But how shall men who do not know God know that it is the Word of God? This is the question that thousands of people ask. They ask, “What proof is there, where is the evidence that it is the Word of God?”

There is evidence—evidence that every man can have—evidence that is convincing and satisfactory. Where is it, then? Let us see.

Clothed and Filled With Righteousness

No one has anything in him out of which righteousness can be made. Thus the righteousness of God is put, literally, into and upon all that believe. Then they are both clothed with righteousness, and filled with it, according to the Scripture. In fact, they then become "the righteousness of God" in Christ. And how is this accomplished? God declares His righteousness upon the one who believes. To declare is to speak.
