"You can follow Christ and see Christianity as your source of truth.

But if that truth does not permeate your thoughts, aspirations and actions, you are not fully engaging the truth.“ E. Stetzer LifeWay Research

2. God’s gospel is authoritatively revealed in the Scriptures

2. God’s gospel is authoritatively revealed in the Scriptures

We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors.

The Bible is: verbally inspired

The Bible is: verbally inspired without error in the original writings

There are, of course, critical scholars who, despite the evidence, continue to argue against the authenticity of Daniel and other biblical books. Yet, the Qumran texts have provided compelling evidence that buttresses our faith in the integrity of the manuscripts on which our translations are based.

32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Luke 21:32-33

The Bible is: verbally inspired without error in the original writings the complete revelation of His will

Complete Revelation: God has spoken all we need to know for Christian faith and life – for both doctrine and duty

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Hebrews 1:1-3

Complete Revelation: God has spoken all we need to know for Christian faith and life – for both doctrine and duty The saving grace of God is revealed in the Bible

Complete Revelation: Neither general revelation nor conscience alone is able to bring us to a saving knowledge of God

14 I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. Ecclesiastes 3:14

The Bible is: verbally inspired without error in the original writings the complete revelation of His will the ultimate authority

The authority of the Bible embraces both belief and behaviour...all knowledge, from whatever source, must be in service of the word of God, and that word provides the necessary norms by which to assess all other knowledge.

Because the Bible is the word of God: it is to be believed

Because the Bible is the word of God: it is to be believed it is to be obeyed

Because the Bible is the word of God: it is to be believed it is to be obeyed it is to be trusted

18 …by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast… Hebrews

Given that large swaths of the church lack confidence in the Bible and rarely participate in conversations about the Bible, there is work to do.

Churches should create opportunities for people to talk about the meaning of the Bible for their lives… By talking about the meaning of the Bible, you teach people to have confidence in the Bible because the very conversation communicates that there is meaning to be found in their lives.
