“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,”

2 Timothy 3:16

 

In our previous blog, we learned that Jesus died and was raised from the dead. The Resurrection is the central message of Christianity and thus needs to be affirmed by all believers.

Here's the last essential doctrine on our list:

The Bible is the final authority in Christian faith and life.

When it comes to authority, the Bible is the ultimate authority on all matters related to the Christian faith and morality. It should govern every viewpoint and decision we make.

We believe that the original biblical manuscripts are free from any errors or contradictions.

Today's text is one of the most important biblical references on the subject of inspiration. It teaches that the Scriptures are God-breathed. Miraculously, God communicated His word to men and led them to record it for permanent preservation. What the writers wrote was the very word of God, inspired and infallible. While it is true that the individual literary style of the writer was not destroyed, it is also true that the very words he used were words given to him by the Holy Spirit.

The writers of the Bible did not offer their personal interpretations of things, but instead wrote the message that was given to them by God.

The inerrancy of God's Word is also a core belief of Christianity because, if the Bibleʼs truthfulness is questionable, then all we know about God is in doubt. Saving faith is linked to the Word of God:

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

Romans 10:17

Faith comes to men when they hear the preaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, which is based on the written word of God.

However, mere intellectual agreement with these doctrines does not necessarily lead to a person's salvation. As a matter of fact, Satan and demons believe in God and even tremble in fear!

Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone.

Pursue the Savior today!
