The bible in the inspired or revealed Word of God to man. It is true, accurate, without error, and allows us to know doctrine, rules, and true history. It is our ultimate guide, map, compass, sword and resource for comfort and peace in this life. We know it was recorded (by inspiration) through around 40 men, across three continents, and over 1,500 years yet each book agrees with the other and points to our need of a savior. We know it's true because the bible itself claims to be, some 2,000 prophecies have been fulfilled, history and archology support it, and we know it internally through the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we must abide by all of it, know it, and continually (daily) take it into our lives. |
