This series has provided many tools to help build our trust in the source and integrity of the written Scriptures.

But the ultimate test of trust is whether the Bible actually delivers on its stated purposes: whether the Bible leads us to an eternal, saving, transforming relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and whether the Bible answers to our satisfaction fundamental life questions such as our origin and destiny, life's meaning, and how we should live.

Ultimately, our fullest confidence in the integrity of the Scriptures can't be derived only through a search for textual evidence or a desire for faith. It can only be discovered through an abiding relationship with the author of the written Word, God himself.

This relationship must begin with the belief that there is something...or Someone...greater than ourselves. It is only by submitting to him where our ultimate certainty that the Bible is true will come.
