The Bible Is The Word of God

 

Without the least doubt or hesitation, I declare that the Bible is the Word of God. And this is what I mean by that statement:

1. It Is Inspired By God The Holy Spirit - Nothing else can explain the existence of this Book to a rational man, except that, "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." God the Holy Spirit led those men who wrote the scriptures; and he sovereignly prevailed upon them to write nothing but his own words. The scriptures were not edited and revised by the prophets and apostles, they were transcribed by them under Divine power!

2. And The Bible Is Infallible - The coin of inspiration comes from the mint of infallibility. If this Book is not infallible, it is not inspired, and it is not the Word of God. There are no errors to be found upon the pages of inspiration. The Bible is the perfect and complete revelation of the mind, will, purpose, character, and Being of the eternal God. It is not possible for a man to know God apart from that which God has revealed about himself in this Book.

3. And The Bible Alone Is Authoritative In The Church And Kingdom Of Christ. We look not to men, to church counsels, to religious creeds, to human logic, or to popular opinion to determine what we will believe, or what we will preach, or what we will do. We simply bow, in humble submission to the Word of God. We dare not take anything from it, or add anything to it.
