This booklet is about scientific facts in the Bible. I hopeyou have opened it with a good deal of skepticism. So youshould. The world is full of simple folk, who will make a

shrine to a knot in a tree because it supposedly has the features ofa dead “saint.”

Before we look at these “scientific facts” in the Bible, I mustpreface them with some very important information. To do this, Iwill have to quote the Bible. This is not using what is commonlycalled “circular reasoning.” I simply want to make a point that isrelevant to what I am going to present.

Many years ago, I ran a children’s club. At the end of the clubI told about one hundred kids to line up for some candy. Therewas an immediate rush, and the line sorted itself into what I sawas being a line of greed. The big and selfish kids were at thefront, and the quiet sickly ones were at the back. I then didsomething that gave me great satisfaction. I told the kids to turnabout face. Everyone did. Then I told them to stay where theywere, and I took great delight in going to the other end of theline and giving the candy to the quiet, sickly kids first.

In a world where the rich get richer, and the poor get stompedon, we are informed that God has gone to the other end of theline with the message of everlasting life (I know that you maynot believe in the existence of God, but please bear with me).Here is what we are told:

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perishfoolishness…For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of thewise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of theprudent…But God has chosen the foolish things of the world toconfound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of theworld to confound the things which are mighty; and base things

of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes,and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:That no flesh should glory in his presence” (1 Corinthians1:18,19,27-29).

How has God gone to the other end of the line? Simply bychoosing that which is weak, base, and despised. Let me illustratewhat He has done:

Do you believe that the following biblical accounts actuallyhappened?

• Adam and Eve.• Noah’s ark.• Jonah and the whale.• Joshua and the walls of Jericho.• Samson and his long hair.• Daniel and the lion’s den.• Moses and the Red Sea.

Of course you don’t. To say that you believed such fantasticstories would mean that you would have to surrender yourintellectually dignity. Who in their right mind would ever dothat? The answer is simply those who understand that God haschosen foolish, base, weak, and despised things of the world toconfound those who think they are wise.

Look at the intellectual offense in the tone of this letter Ireceived, regarding a debate I was due to do, on the subject “DoesGod exist?”:

“How sad for you to have so completely surrendered your

6 Scient if ic Facts in the Bible


intellect to an ignorant, pre-scientific book. I know about yourupcoming debate…I won’t be there, but I’m sure that theaudience will get some good belly laughs from yourpresentation. Biblical literalists may not be very bright, but theyare extremely funny.”

Where’s the Evidence?Imagine that you are looking at a luxuryliner moving through calm waters. To youramazement about a dozen people jump off theship, and cling to a lifeboat. You watch as therest of the passengers stand on the ship and laugh at them. Youcan understand their reaction. What those few people did wasfoolish. It made no sense.

Suddenly, the ship hits an unseen iceberg and sinks, takingwith it all who stayed on board. Now you see that those whoseemed like fools were wise, but those who stayed on the shipand seemed to be wise, were fools.

We have in the Bible a command to jump off the luxury linerof this world. Before you laugh at stupid Christians, ask yourself ifthere is any proof that its claims are true. Here is compellingevidence that the Bible is no ordinary book:

• Jeremiah 33:22 (written 2500 years ago): “As the host ofheaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the seameasured.”

The Bible claimed that there are billions of stars (“host ofheaven” is the biblical term for the stars). When it made thisstatement, no one knew how vast the numbers of stars were asonly about 1,100 were observable. Now we know that there are

billions of stars, and that they cannot be numbered.

• Job 26:7 (written 3500 years ago): “He stretches out the northover the empty place, and hangs theearth upon nothing.”

The Bible claimed that the earthfreely floated in space. Science thenthought that the earth sat on a largeanimal. We now know that the earthhas a free float in space.

• Hebrews 11:3 (written 2000 years ago): “Through faith weunderstand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, sothat things which are seen were not made of things which doappear.”

The Bible claims that all creation is made of invisible material.Science then was ignorant of the subject. We now know that theentire creation is made of invisibleelements called “atoms.”

• Leviticus 17:11 (written 3000 years ago):“For the life of the flesh is in the blood.”

The Scriptures declare that blood is thesource of life. Up until 120 years ago, sickpeople were “bled,” and many died becauseof the practice. We now know that blood isthe source of life. If you lose your blood, you will lose your life.



• Leviticus 15:13 (written 3000 years ago): “And when he that hasan issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himselfseven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe hisflesh in running water, and shall be clean.”

The Bible said that when dealing with disease, hands should bewashed under running water. Up until 100 years ago doctors washedtheir hands in a basin of still water, resulting in the death ofmultitudes. We now know that doctors must wash their hands underrunning water. The Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, ayoung doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrifiedat the terrible death rate of women who were dying after giving birthin hospitals. As many as 30% of those giving birth died. The Doctornoted that doctors would examine the bodies of those who had died,then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next wards andexamine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, becausethe presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. DoctorSemmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands beforeexaminations, and the death rate immediately dropped down to 2%.

• Job 38:35 (written 3,500 years ago. God Himself speaking): “Can yousend lightnings, that they may go and say unto you, Here we are?”

The Bible here is saying a scientifically ludicrous statement—thatlight can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did youknow that radio waves move at the speed of light? This is why youcan have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on theother side of the earth. Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when“the British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricityand light waves were two forms of the same thing” (Modern CenturyIllustrated Encyclopedia, Vol. 12).



• Isaiah 40:22 (written 2800 years ago):“It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth.”

The Bible informs us here that the earth is round. At a time whenscience believed that the earth was flat, it was the Scriptures thatinspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world. Hewrote: “It was the Lord who put it into my mind. I could feel Hishand upon me…there is no question the inspiration was from theHoly Spirit because He comforted me with rays of marvelousillumination from the Holy Scriptures…” (From his diary, inreference to his discovery of “the New World”).

• Job 38:19 (written 3500 years ago). “Where is the way wherelight dwells?”

Modern man has only just discovered that light (electromagneticradiation) has a “way,” involving motion traveling at 186,000miles per second.

• Genesis 1:1,3 (written 3,450 years ago): “In the beginning Godcreated the Heaven and the earth...And the Spirit of Godmoved upon the face of the waters.”

Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter,power and motion. “In the beginning (time) God created (power)the Heaven (space) and the earth (matter)...And the Spirit ofGod moved (motion) upon the face of the waters.”

• Why did the dinosaur disappear? This is something that hasmodern science mystified, but the Bible may have the answer(written 3500 years ago. God Himself is speaking):



“Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eatsgrass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and hisforce is in the navel of his belly. He moves his tail like acedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. Hisbones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars ofiron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made himcan make his sword to approach unto him. Surely themountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of thefield play. He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of thereed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with theirshadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastens not: he trusts thathe can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He takes it with hiseyes: his nose pierces through snares” (Job 40:15-24).

This was the Largest of allcreatures He made.

It was plant-eating (herbivorous).It had its strength in its hips.Its tail was like a large tree (a cedar).It had very strong bones.Its habitat was among the trees.Drank massive amounts of water.His nose pierced through snares.Then Scripture says, “…He that made him can make his sword

approach to him.” In other words, God caused this, the largestof all the creatures He had made, to become extinct.

• Psalm 8:8: “And the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passesthrough the paths of the seas.”

What does the Bible mean by “paths” of the seas?The sea is just a huge mass of water, how thencould it have “paths?” Man discovered theexistence of ocean currents in the1850’s, but the Bible declared thescience of oceanography 2,800 years ago. Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered to be the father of oceanography. He wasbedridden during a serious illness and asked his son to read aportion of the Bible to him. While listening, he noticed theexpression “paths of the sea.” Upon his recovery, Maury tookGod at His word and went looking for these paths. His book onoceanography is still considered a basic text on the subject and isstill used in universities.

• Jonah 2:6 (written 2,800 years ago): “I went down to thebottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was aboutme for ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption,O LORD my God.”

When Jonah was in the depths of the ocean, he spoke of goingdown to the “bottoms of the mountains.” Only in recent yearshas man discovered that there are mountains on the ocean floor.The greatest ocean depth has been sounded in the ChallengerDeep of the Mariana’s Trench, a distance of 35,798 feet below sealevel. Mount Everest is 29,035 feet high.

• Amos 9:6 (written 2,800 years ago): “He…calls for the watersof the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth; theLord is His name.”



The Mississippi River dumps over six million gallons of water persecond into the Gulf of Mexico. Where does all that water go?That’s just one of thousands of rivers. The answer lies in thehydrologic cycle, something that was not fully accepted until thesixteenth and seventeenth centuries, 2500 years after the Biblesaid that God takes the waters of the sea, and pours them uponthe face of the earth.

• Job 38:12, 14, (written 3500 years ago) God Himself says: “Haveyou commanded the morning since your days; and caused thedayspring to know his place; that it might take hold of the endsof the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? It [theearth] is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.”

Modern science has come to understand that the earth’s rotationon its axis is responsible for the sun’s rising and setting. Thepicture here is of a vessel of clay being turned or rotated upon thepotter’s wheel—an accurate analogy of the earth’s rotation.

• Psalm 19:4-6: “In them has He set a tabernacle for the sun,which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, andrejoices as a strong man to run a race. His [the sun’s] goingforth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto theends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.”

Bible critics have scoffed at these verses, saying that they teachthat the sun revolves around the earth. Science told them thatthe sun was stationary. Then they discovered that the sun is infact moving through space at approximately 600,000 miles perhour. It is traveling through the heavens and has a “circuit” justas the Bible says. It is estimated that its circuit is so large, itwould take 200 million years to complete one orbit.



• Job 38:22 (written 3,500 years ago). God says: “Have youentered into the treasures of the snow?”

It wasn’t until the advent of the microscope that man discoveredthat each and every single snowflake is uniquely a symmetrical“treasure.”

• Genesis 2:1 (after creation): “Thus theheavens and the earth were finished,and all the host of them.”

The Hebrew word used here is thepast definite tense for the verb“finished,” indicating an actioncompleted in the past, never again tooccur. The creation was “finished”— onceand for all. That is what the First Law ofThermodynamics says. It states that neither matter nor energycan be either created or destroyed. There is no “creation”ongoing today. It is “finished” exactly as the Bible states.

• Hebrews 1:10,11 (written 2000 years ago): “...And, You, Lord,in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and theheavens are the works of your hands: They shall perish; but youremain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment.”

The Bible tells us that the earth is wearing out. This is what theSecond Law of Thermodynamics states. This wasn’t discoveredby science until comparatively recently.

• Genesis 17:12: “And he that is eight days old shall becircumcised among you, every man child in your generations,



he that is born in the house, or bought with money of anystranger, which is not of thy seed.”

Why was circumcision to be carried out on the eighth day?Medical science has discovered that the eighth day is the onlyday in the entire life of the newborn that the blood clottingelement prothrombin is above 100%.

• Genesis 3:15: “And I will put enmity between you and thewoman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruiseyour head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

This verse reveals that a female possesses the “seed of life.” Thiswas not the common knowledge until a few centuries ago. It waswidely believed that the male only possessed the “seed of life”and that the woman was nothing more than a glorified incubator.

• Isaiah 40:12 (written 2,800 years ago): “Who has measured thewaters in the hollow of His hand…”

We are told that God has measured the waters and set a properamount of water on the earth. Modern science has proved thatthe quantity of water on earth is just enough for our needs. If thesea became three meters deeper, the water would absorb all thecarbon dioxide and nitrogen, and no creature could live anylonger.

• Job 26:7 (written 3500 years ago): “He stretches out the northover the empty place…”

Less than 200 years ago, through the advent of massive telescopes,science learned about the great empty space in the north.



• Isaiah 40:22 (written 2,800 years ago):“It is He that . . . stretches out theheavens as a curtain, and spreads themout as a tent to dwell in.”

Scientists are beginning to understandthat the universe is expanding, orstretching out. At least seven times inScripture we are clearly told that God stretches out the heavenslike a curtain.

Prophetic Facts in the Bible:We will now take a moment to look at some of the Bible’sincredible prophecies. These are known as the ‘’signs of thetimes.” They are the signs that will be indications of the end ofthis age (not the end of the world). They are taken fromMatthew chapter 24, Luke chapter 21, 1 Timothy chapter 4 and2 Timothy chapter 3:

Wars and rumors of wars.Nation will rise against nation.Kingdom will rise against Kingdom.Famines.Disease.False prophets.Deception.Lawlessness (forsaking of the Ten Commandments).The preaching of the Gospel.False Christs.Earthquakes in various places.Signs from Heaven.



Persecution against Christians.Signs in the Sun. Men’s hearts would fail them for fear of the future.Stressful living.Selfishness.Materialism.Arrogance.Pride.Homosexual increase.People would be cold-hearted.They would be intemperate.They would be brutal.Youth would be rebellious.They would be haters of those that stand up for righteousness.They would be ungodly.Pleasure-seekers.There would be a call for “peace.”People would be blasphemous.There would be much hypocrisy.False Bible teachers would have many followers, be money-hungry,and would slur the Christian faith (see 2 Peter 2:1-3). Daniel 12:4 tells us that in the last days there will be an increaseof travel and knowledge. Men would scoff, and say that these “signs” have always beenaround. They would also deny the flood of Noah (despite theoverwhelming scientific evidence of a universal flood). The Bibleeven informs us of their motivation for the denial. It says theywould love lust. Then Scripture tells us that they make one bigmistake. Their understanding of God is erroneous. They don’tunderstand that God’s time frame is not the same as ours. Theythink (in their ignorance) that God’s continued silence means that



He doesn’t see their sins. In truth, He is merely holding back Hiswrath, waiting for them to repent (see 2 Peter 3:8-9):

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last daysscoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where isthe promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep,all things continue as they were from the beginning of thecreation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by theword of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standingout of the water and in the water: Whereby the world thatthen was, being overflowed with water, perished” (2 Peter3:3-6).

Jesus warned that the sign to look for was the repossession ofJerusalem by the Jews. That happened in 1967, after 2,000 years,bringing into culmination all the signs of the times:

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be ledaway captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be troddendown of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles befulfilled” (Luke 21:24).

These scientific and prophetic facts prove that the Bible is noordinary book; that it is supernatural in origin, as it so oftenclaims. It uses the words “Thus says the Lord” 3,800 times, andhas 3,856 verses that speak directly or indirectly concerningprophecy. There is no other book in any of the world’s religions(Bagvat Gita, Vedas, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that containperfectly accurate prophetic and scientific truth. In fact, theycontain statements that are clearly erroneous and unscientific.



What About Evolution?

What about evolution—doesn’t that disprove the Bible? Firstly,let me make it clear that I do believe in variations within species.Some dogs appear to have evolved from large to small (or smallto large), but no actual “evolution” has taken place. They are stilldogs. There is no evidence for man evolving from primates (eachhaving a common ancestor), generally known as “the theory ofevolution.” Professor Louis Bounoure, Director of Research,National Center of Scientific Research so rightly stated:“”Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helpednothing in the progress of science. It is useless.”” Sir ArthurKeith (Sir Arthur Keith wrote the foreword to the 100th editionof Origin of the Species) said, “”Evolution is unproved andunprovable.”” Malcolm Muggeridge, thefamous British journalist and philosophersaid, “”I myself am convinced that thetheory of evolution, especially the extentto which it’s been applied, will be one ofthe great jokes in history books of thefuture.”” Dr. T. N. Tahmisian of theAtomic Energy Commission said,“”Scientists who go about teaching thatevolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling maybe the greatest hoax ever.””

Scrap the Current Theory?Look at this new discovery: “Paleontologists have discovered anew skeleton in the closet of human ancestry that is likely toforce science to revise, if not scrap, current theories of human



origins” (USA Today March 21, 2001). Reuters reported that thediscovery left “scientists of human evolution…confused,” saying,“Lucy may not even be a direct human ancestor after all.”

In truth, evolution isn’t “scientific.” It’s a theory. Dr. KentHovind—an authority on evolution has a standing offer of$250,000 for anyone who can give him scientific evidence that

evolution is 1true. Evolutionists should take him to court. Theycould become famous. They could make this another “Scopes”trial, but they won’t, because they can’t. All they have is faith ina theory. In fact, evolution qualifies as a religion. The dictionarysays of the word “religion”: “A set of beliefs concerned withexplaining the origins and purposes of the universe…”Evolutionists even have their own religiouslanguage: “We believe, perhaps, maybe, probably,could’ve, possibly...” Their founding father ofthe faith is Charles Darwin. Their god of thereligion of evolution is “nature,” often referredto by the faithful as “Mother Nature.” She isthe one who is responsible for everythingwe can see in creation. What’s more,she’s very attractive to lust-filled men.They gravitate to her like a moth to aflame. That’s because she’s deaf, blind,and mute. She doesn’t hear anything, she doesn’t see anything,and what’s most important—she doesn’t say anything. MotherNature doesn’t have any moral dictates. That’s why evolution is soappealing. It is called “idolatry” (making up a false god) and is atransgression of the First of the Ten Commandments.

Microevolution is observable, while macroevolution takes agreat leap of blind faith. If Christians had as much faith in theBible as evolutionists have in the theory of evolution, we would



see revival. Like little children, they believe without the need ofa thread of evidence. Evolution doesn’t disprove the existence ofGod. It just reveals that those who believe it are truly capable offaith in the invisible. It confirms Napoleon’s observation: “Manwill believe anything, as long as it’s not in the Bible.”

What About Mistakes in the Bible?Perhaps you have found what you see as mistakes in the Bible,and they are stopping you giving the Bible any real credibility.Here are some common arguments:

• Hares don’t chew cud• Insects don’t have four legs• The account of two creations• Cain’s incest• Adam didn’t die the day God said He would• A flat earth• Bible atrocities• Divine genocide• The “Potter’s field” prophecy not being in the Book of

Jeremiah• The “contradiction” between “an eye for an eye,” and “turn the

other cheek”• Zedekiah not seeing Babylon• Clear contradictions in the conversion of Saul of Tarsus.

We will look at two, then I will make reference to more later inthis booklet:

“And the prince [the “prince” referred to here is Zedekiah]that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the

WhHerdid (seewarHeahee

twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wallto carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see notthe ground with his eyes. My net also will I spread uponhim, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bringhim to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall henot see it, though he shall die there” (Ezekiel 12:13).

“And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of thehand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered intothe hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with himmouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes.”(Jeremiah 32:4-5).

This is a clear contradiction. One prophet says that Zedekiah willnot see Babylon. The other says that he will be taken captive bythe Chaldeans, and his eyes will see the king of Babylon.

Here is what happened:

“Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblahbefore his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles ofJudah. Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound himwith chains, to carry him to Babylon”(Jeremiah 39:6-7).

Zedekiah looked into the eyes of the king of Babylon, and thenhe was blinded and taken captive to Babylon.

Here is another glaring “contradiction” in two accounts of theconversion of Saul of Tarsus:

“And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wiltthou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise,



and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thoumust do. And the men which journeyed with him stoodspeechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man” (Acts 9:7).

“And I answered, Who are you, Lord? And he said to me, Iam Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute. And they thatwere with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but theyheard not the voice of him that spoke to me” (Acts 22:8,9).

Did they hear the voice, or didn’t they? Here’s the answer:

“Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice fromheaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify itagain. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, saidthat it thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him”(John 12:28-29).

Those who stood by heard God’s voice, but they didn’t hear whatHe said. Now you have a choice. You can either argue about theword “voice,” or you can stop for a moment and say, “Could it bethat I am a proud person, and that I refuse to humble myself?Could it be that my professed wisdom has put me at the wrongend of the line?

What Does all This Mean? Here then is the incredible implication. If Goddid write the Bible through the pens of men(see 2 Timothy 3:16), then its terriblewarning of Hell and incredible promise ofHeaven are therefore true, and need to beheeded. How then can a person find everlasting life?

Most think that it’s by living a good life. That seems right, butaccording to the Bible, it is wrong. Our mistake is that we thinkthat God’s standards are the same as ours. Let’s look at the TenCommandments to see if we have kept His standards: Have youever told a lie (even once)? Have you ever stolen anything (thevalue is irrelevant)? If you said, “Yes” to those two questions youcannot enter Heaven, because you are a lying thief. If you hatesomeone, you commit murder in God’s sight. Jesus said,“Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committedadultery already with her in his heart.” Have you ever done that?Have you ever desired something that belonged to someone else?If you have (and who hasn’t?), then you’ve broken the TenthCommandment. Have you loved God above all else? Have youmake a god to suit yourself? Have you ever used His holy Nameas a cuss word? Have you kept the Sabbath holy? Have youalways honored your parents.

Listen to your conscience. Remember all those secret sins youthought no one knew about. God has seen them, and He willbring every work into Judgment, including every secret thing. Weare guilty criminals, and to offer God anything in the area ofgood works, etc., is an attempt to bribe the Judge of the universe.The only thing that can save us from His wrath, is His mercy,and that can’t be earned. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe inGod or in Judgment Day. You will still have to face Him anyway.

This is what God did for you. He became a Man in JesusChrist, and suffered and died on the Cross, taking thepunishment for our sins. He was bruised for our iniquities. Whenthe Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Rome he said, “Godcommended His love toward us, in that while we were yetsinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus suffered once and for all for us,and then He rose from the dead. If we repent and trust alone in



the Savior, God will forgive us and grant us eternal life—”For bygrace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it isthe gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast”(Ephesians 2:8-9). How could we earn His mercy by “doing”anything? Yet, it is a fatal mistake to believe that God can bebribed—that you will have a second chance. There is no secondchance: “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this thejudgment” (Hebrews 9:27). What will you say on Judgment Day?“Hare don’t chew cud?” Will you be worried about where Caingot his wife? Or will your defense be that insects don’t have fourlegs? What do they have to do with the fact that you havesinned against God? It is not God’s will that you go to Hell.Please, come to your senses and obey the Gospel.

If you will admit that you have broken the Commandments,earnestly pray something like this: “Dear God, please forgive mysins (name them). Nothing I can do could merit everlasting life.I trust alone in the mercy that You offer me in Jesus Christ. I putmy faith in the Savior (not in man, in a church or my goodworks) for my eternal salvation. I will read the Bible daily andobey what I read. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.” Now carefully readJohn 14:21.

Thank you for being open-minded enough to read thisbooklet. My motivation for writing it was solely a concern foryour eternal salvation. I earnestly hope you have made peacewith God. Yours faithfully, Ray Comfort.
