Summary

IThe relevance of this article is that almost every person becomes more and more interested in a particular religion. Someone is doing it just for the sake of curiosity, someone wants to spread their knowledge in this area, and someone is facing a choice – which religion to go to. In this article, not only doctrinal or historical information about the “holy books” of different religions is presented, but also in some places a comparison is made between them, pointing to the benefits of a true God-established religion – Christianity. Holy Scripture is the Word of God because it is written by inspired men. Especially important for this article was the second part of the Bible-the New Testament, as it contains the basis of Christian doctrine. It was written by inspiration from the Holy spiritdisciples of Jesus Christ, apostles. By inspiration of God is meant the co-operation of the writer and the Holy spirit, in which the human will and mind are not diminished, but purified and raised above their usual limits. The Holy books of the New Testament are written by the Holy apostles to show the salvation that our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished. That is why they speak to us of the magnificent events of the incarnation of the Son of God, His earthly life, about the doctrine which He preached about the miracles that He did, His bicubically suffering and death by the cross, o glorious resurrection from Mervi and ascension into heaven, and so there dambi opponents of Christianity tried to deny its veracity, it still remains the only religion that has objective arguments that demonstrate its supernatural, Divine origin, and hence of its truth, as if it is Divine, and true. And only a truly believing person is able to see in these arguments the real evidence of the truth of Christianity.

Key words: scripture, God, books, Revelation, word.
