Believe Moses

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? (John 5:46-47)

Where does Moses start writing? Well, he starts in Genesis 1. And where did John start writing? Of course, John 1, which is where he started talking about creation showing Jesus is God and creator.

I've heard that many if not most kids who grow up in the church fall away because they get hammered by “science” telling them that creation took millions or billions of years and the Bible is wrong at the beginning. So, what Jesus says holds true for them. If they don't believe the writings of Moses beginning with creation, how can they believe Jesus?

The implication of believing all of Scripture rests on believing the first three chapters of the Bible. If I pick and choose what I want to believe about that, then the whole Bible is up for grabs. I don't need “science” to prove biblical creation, but it does. I don't need to fear that someone calls me ignorant because I believe this. But if I didn’t, I would have no reason to believe Jesus or the resurrection. I wouldn't know or believe for sure that my sins are forgiven. No wonder people fall away when they don’t have this assurance.

I believe that the Bible is God's Word and is true. I've staked my eternity on it because it points to Jesus.
