In our offices we receive all types of letters and telephone calls—some simply to express appreciation for The Good News magazine or our booklets, but others containing questions about the Bible, its teachings and how they impact our personal lives.
If you have any questions or comments about the material presented in this study course, please feel free to contact our office in your country or in the country nearest you. One of our personal correspondents will be happy to help you (see sample letter below).
Also, if you would like to counsel with a United Church of God minister, we would be glad to arrange a private appointment—without any obligation.

"How do we know the Bible is from God?" — P. H., Birmingham, England
What evidence would a confirmed skeptic or atheist accept as proof that the Holy Bible is the Word of God? At the end of the day, it is really a matter of faith as to whom you are willing to believe. A person must first have an open mind and be willing to accept the words of Jesus Christ and the other writers of Scripture.
Even those who were actually there during the ministry of Jesus Christ had difficulty believing He was the Messiah, the Son of God. It took real faith to accept that fact. Some did, but many did not (John 8:30,42-46). Christ said: "He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God" (verse 47). But those who belong to God will believe the words of His Son and follow Him.
