The greatest blessing God has given to mankind is His Word.
In His Word He has spoken with perfect clarity and complete truthfulness. As His Word, the Scriptures have the same attributes as He, their Author. Therefore the Word of God is eternal and unchanging down to today.
The Bible is not a mechanical dictation. God is the Author of every word. What He has done to communicate His Word to man was to prepare human instruments through whom He spoke using their humanness, personalities, and characteristics. The more difficult passages are not incomprehensible or ambiguous but do require careful thought and study to understand what God meant when He spoke. Not understanding difficult passages is not an excuse to distort what is clear. To disagree with the Word of God is to be wrong and to agree with the Word is to be right. Believer's corporately and individually must maintain a constant and continual vigilance not to let anything or anyone else become a greater influence or weightier counsel than God's Word.
God has perfectly and accurately preserved His Word as originally given in the autographs and confirmed by the vast numbers of early manuscripts that have been discovered. God has spoken for all to hear and intends each of us to listen, take heed, and obey.
