Why Is the Bible Attacked More Than Other Sacred Texts?

John 15:10 (NIV)
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
We live in a time when the philosophy and legitimacy of Scripture are challenged more than at any other time in history. At the same time, we do not see the same attacks against the sacred texts of other religions. Most have never even heard of the Vedas, the Upanishads, or the other Hindu scriptures. No one knows anything about the Tripitaka of Buddhism. Perhaps only the Qur’an is known of the other religions that do not use the Bible. We don’t know these texts because they are not attacked. Most people would know the Qur'an, but historically and statistically, it is hardly attacked at all compared to the Bible.
We know the god of this age, our spiritual enemy, and his legions of demons influence this world to attack the Bible constantly. We forget that the Bible miraculously gives a united message and a significant number of fulfilled prophecies, even though more than 40 authors are writing over a period of 1500 years. Many prophecies were written centuries before they happened. No other sacred text can boast this kind of miraculous testimony, yet the Bible is still attacked more than anything. Why?
There is a spiritual attack on the Bible because the laws and commands within it teach us how to love better. If we keep His commands, the result will be a behavior in us that is more loving toward God, ourselves, our neighbors, and even our enemies. On top of this, love bonds us together to God. This is the power of the Scripture. The commands of God have the power to restore our relationship with God, but also the broken relationships of our lives. AS people begin to love better, families remain intact, marriages are saved, broken hearts are mended, and the love of God increases.
The Bible tells us that as the end comes near, love will not increase, but decrease. The more the Bible is attacked as untrue, archaic, and irrelevant, love will die. We must hold tightly to the Word of God because its commands hold us together and hold all of us together with our Lord.
Prayer: Lord, teach me to treasure the Word of God as the power of love to restore and renew relationships and remove the enemy from our lives. Amen.
