The Bible is God’s life handbook

The Bible claims to be the word of God – God’s inspired revelation of Himself and His Son, and His plan for the world.

Why it’s certain that Jesus is alive

Yes, Jesus Christ is alive today. There is strong evidence for the fact that he was resurrected to life. For a start, no one could produce a corpse to prove otherwise, even though the religious rulers of the day would dearly have loved to do so. They tried to spread the rumour that Christ’s disciples…
