One of the reasons why we can trust the Bible is that it just works! If you live your life God’s way, you will have the best life ever! It doesn’t mean that you won’t have any pain or struggles, but it does mean that you will be equipped to handle anything that life throws at you. No other religion or worldview can promise (and deliver!) the peace, love, joy, and fulfillment that come from a life lived in obedience to Jesus Christ.
Other worldviews and religions can get some things right (many worldviews say that we shouldn’t steal or murder for example), but Christianity is the only one that gets everything right. And even if your worldview only gets a couple of things wrong, it can have a hugely negative impact on your life and the lives of those around you. A life without God is empty and full of unnecessary pain and strife. When you live according to the Spirit, you will have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If you learn what God says in the Bible and submit yourself to His way of doing things, you will not be disappointed.
