The Doctrine of Scripture

Inerrancy means that the Bible without error, it speaks truthfully in every statement. What a comforting reality that the word of God is true and never fails.

Is the Scripture enough? Do you live like it? What practically does the sufficiency of Scripture mean? This is a wonderful but often neglected truth of Scripture. May a reflection on this great doctrine fill our hearts with wonder and love for the words of God.

Is Scripture able to stand as a final authority? Does it’s interpretation depend on the interpreter or is it able to be clear in its presentation of truth? We see from Scripture and Jesus’ example that Scripture is able to speak clearly on matters concerning salvation and Christian growth.

Scripture is the word of God, therefore to disbelieve or disobey the Scriptures is to disbelieve or disobey God himself. Not only that but Scripture is self-attesting, demonstrating itself to be God’s word. Ultimately, we recognize the voice of our Creator and Lord through the Scripture. These truths are explained from Scripture as well as handling common objections to these claims.

The centerpiece of Reformed theology, recovered at the reformation, is not election, predestination, or even justification by faith, rather it is the doctrine of Scripture. The first sermon in a series of five on the doctrine of Scripture, Pastor Tim demonstrates that scripture is necessary for knowing God’s will, maintaining spiritual life, certain knowledge, and knowing the way of salvation. Cherish it, thank God for it, reading, study it, memorize it, and proclaim it!
