Concerning
the Bible |
|
The first item of our faith is that the Bible
is the Word of God. Concerning the Bible, the apostle Paul says, "All
Scripture is God-Breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16a). The Scriptures were written
by godly men under God's inspiration. We also believe that the Bible
contains the completed divine revelation. All aspects of our faith are
founded on the Bible and controlled by the Bible. We accept what the Bible
says in full, from Genesis to Revelation, and we reject any thought of man that
goes beyond what the Bible says. The Bible is the true and objective gift
from God that offers to us His revelation concerning Himself, His salvation, and
His plan, or economy, for man. Because the Bible is the Word of God, we believe in
its accuracy and maintain its infallibility. |
