True or True for You: Which is it?

Is the Bible true? Is it true for you? Is it true for me? What is the difference?

I believe in the Bible as God's complete and accurate Word. Since I became a Christian, the Bible really 'works' for me. But the Bible is not true for me. If the Bible is true, it is only because it is true.

The Bible reads in John 1 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' The Word (Logos) means, in general, the source and order of the universe and, in specific, the incarnation of God. In John 14 Jesus said 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.' So we understand that Jesus is God and that Jesus is truth.

My believing the Bible does not make it true. If I change my mind, it is still true. The Bible is true because it is true.
