"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater..." (I John 5:9) for "...he left not himself without witness..." (Acts 14:17). God has left abundant testimony concerning Himself. The Bible shows that when God gave witness to anything that testimony would stand up in any court where justice and wisdom prevail. Consider some of the testimony God has given concerning Himself.

IN THE CREATION. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth...The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork...For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" (Gen. 1:1; Ps. 19:1; Rom. 1:21).

TO THE EGYPTIANS. God gave testimony to Himself in the plagues. "And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them...For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord" (Ex. 7:5; 12:12). In demonstrating His power, God exposed the weakness of idols. No wonder the Israelites sang "Who is like unto thee, O Lord among the gods?" (Ex. 15:11).

God gave testimony to Himself in the crossing of Red Sea. "And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them; and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen....the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, And took off their chariot wheels...the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians" (Ex. 14: 17-25).

IN THE BIBLE. The Bible is an amazing book. A powerful testimony to the existence, power, might, and nature of God, it is indestructible. Men have tried, only to find its circulation increasing. Why so? The Bible reveals the mind of God (Eph. 3:31-6; I Cor. 2:10-16), the origin of all things (Gen. 1), the nature of man (Gen. 1:26,27; 2:7), sin and its consequences (Gen. 3; Rom. 6:23), the remedy for sin (Isa. 53; John 3:16; Mt. 26:28), and hope (Rom. 8:24). The perfection of the Bible is the result of divine guidance (John 16:13; II Pet. 1:21; II Tim. 3:16,17; Eph.3:1-6). It is with us by divine providence.

IN PROPHECY. "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (II Pet. 1:19-21). Prophecy (forthtelling, foretelling of future events, their fulfillment, and interpretation) is the exclusive work of Deity.

IN JESUS CHRIST. "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him" (John 1:18). "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him...Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the father?" (John 14:7-9). The Father was completely, gloriously manifest through the Son. Jesus fully demonstrated the attributes and qualities of Deity.
