Why Adhere? - (Part 4) Because of the people who have adhered

Another reason, although slightly lesser than because the Bible is God's word, to believe in the Bible is because of all the examples of the people who have been converted to Christianity and all the people who were Christians all their life – for whatever reason. Some Christians might include the following:

Johann Sebastian Bach was a musical genius and believed that every note he wrote should be good enough to be dedicated to God. For every song he wrote, at the top he would write J. J., which stood for Jesu Juva, Jesus help me. At the end of every song he would write S. D. G., Soli Deo Gloria, to God alone the glory. He was such a great musician that he could have easily made his fortune playing for princes, but he decided to play and write music for the church instead.

Lord Kelvin, whom the Kelvin scale is named after, also a mathematical physicist and engineer, said: “The atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into words.”

Woodrow T. Wilson, a devout Presbyterian and United States President said: “When you have read the Bible, you will know it is the word of God, because you have found in it the key to your own heart, your own happiness and your own duty.”
