Over the years, archeologists have uncovered evidence to support Biblical claims, verifying the historical accuracy of Scripture. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that the stories we’re reading aren’t just fairy tales made up to inspire us to be better people. Jesus really lived. Paul actually planted churches. Abraham, Moses, and David all walked the same earth as us. It adds weight to the words when we take the stories as fact.
