Read : Deuteronomy 17:15-20
“For…holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” – 2 Peter 1:21
The Bible is the written Word of God. It is a specific revelation to man. It reveals the nature of God to man. It explains the origin of man. It gives meaning to man’s existence on earth. It reveals the future destiny of all creation. Above all, it reveals God’s merciful plan of redemption to us (Hebrews 1:1, 2).
The Gospel is the good news of Christ’s saving power for us. The Bible is the only book that shows how man can be saved (Romans 1:16).
The Bible is authoritative and final. The Bible is not a discussion of ideas and theories. It is an authoritative declaration of the facts. The truths that are expounded are awesome and nonnegotiable. The aura surrounding the Bible is partly due to its authoritative and irrevocable truths (Hebrews 2:1-4).
The Word of God is inspired divinely. This is what differentiates the Bible from every other book. The Bible claims to have inspiration and motivation from God. In other words, it was virtually written by God through the hands of mortal men (2 Timothy 3:16).
The Word of God is powerful and searching. How true this is! Thousands of people are converted when the simple truths of the Bible are shared. I was changed by the Word of God when I encountered it (Hebrews 4:12).
The Word of God is God’s method for man’s prosperity and abundant life. God’s method for prosperity is not by clever ideas and human tricks. It is through His Word (Joshua 1:8).
