The ultimate authority, the most credible answer to any issue, will always be the word of God. Christians know that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and we consider His words to be the food that sustains our spiritual lives.
We rely on Jesus' own words. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4) We rely on the fact that Jesus was seen and heard by more than just one person and that there are reliable testimonies that corroborate one another, just as the testimonies in any trial in a court of law must corroborate one another in order to be believable.

The entire Bible is a collection of the writings of many authors over many centuries, most of whom did not know one another, yet they saw visions from God that corroborate one another.
The Bible is a miraculous book for the things that were seen thousands of years ago were played out on earth thousands of years later, and this is the only book that can be matched with historical events in this way. Even today events on the world stage are proceeding exactly as the Bible predicts they will.
Christianity could not survive without the Bible because the Bible is the written expression of our Lord Himself. Christians could not survive without Christ because Christ IS the Word of God.

Matthew 13:23 states Jesus said, "But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
The Word of God imparts God's authority to those who believe and obey God. It is the foundation of our Faith: literally the ground upon which we stand when we approach God to ask Him for anything. We know we must not ask for things that are not promised in His word, but we can ask with confidence for those things that are promised.
The Bible is not merely any old book. Without the Bible Christianity would not exist because no Christian can survive without it. Even those in the deepest, darkest parts of the earth who have been deprived of any Bible or scripture portions can
