Lesson 2 - THE BIBLE IS GOD'S TRUTH
2.6 GOD'S WORD IS OUR AUTHORITY
We must use the Bible as a standard to teach us the truth about right and
wrong, good and evil. The Bible is accurate and dependable. Many attempts have
been made to destroy the Bible but God's power has protected and preserved it
down through the centuries. The Bible was inspired by God which means that it
came to us directly from God's mind. It gives complete instructions for
Christian living.
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17. All scripture is given by inspiration of
God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works.
- John 12:48-50. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my
words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same
shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the
Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what
I should speak. And His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
The words of the Bible will determine what our sentence will be in the
Judgment.
