Be honest: when you read the bible what makes you think it is of divine origin? [Spirituality & Religion]

There was a time in my life where i really wanted to believe and i tried hard to have faith and asked with all my heart that god reveal himself to me. But predictably he did not. And the more i read, the more it became obvious to me that the bible was the work of men.
So base and petty and violent. This was not the work of an enlightened being.

So what makes you feel that the bible is of divine origin?

Before I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, I had a hard time understanding it, and it had no real meaning to me. Afterwards, I noticed an immediate difference. It's like the words were jumping off the page, and had personal meaning to me. Reading Gods Word makes me feel more alive, and helps me keep my priorities straight. Since The Holy Spirit now lives in my heart, His Word has real meaning to me.

@Pikachu Neither can I. I've found other works of fiction much more interesting and enlightening.
