Whose word is Scripture? Why use it?

Posted

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, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is God’s unerring Word because it was given to us by God Himself through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Therefore it is to be used as the source and judge of all our teaching, to reprove and correct error and sin, and to instruct us in how God would have us live as His dear children through faith in Jesus Christ.

God, grant that we hear, read and study Holy Scripture as Your inspired Word, repent of all sin and error, look to Christ and His cross for pardon and forgiveness, and let Your Word guide us in living according to Your holy will. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
