“A Strong Foundation"
"1. The Bible"
2 Timothy 3:16-17
We believe that God inspired the Bible, God’s infallible written word, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. The Bible was uniquely, verbally, and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and was written without error in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority for all matters of faith and practice. Three Truths About the Bible:
- The Bible is the ___________________ word of God
2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work 2 Peter 1:20-21 20 Above all, you know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from the prophet’s own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
- The Bible is the ____________________ word of God
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill? Titus 1:2 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness, 2 in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. Hebrews 6:18 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. John 17:17 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
- The Bible is the ___________________ word of God
2 Peter 1:3 3 His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Hebrews 4:12 12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Joshua 1:8 8 This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
