God’s Word is powerful (Rom. 1:16), able to save(James 1:21), inspired of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17), flawless (Psm. 19:7), can set one free (John 8:32), will last forever (Matt. 24:35), gives us everything needed which pertains to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), completely furnishes us (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The Bible (comprised of 66 books, written over a span of about 1,600 years, by almost 40 writers) will never be destroyed, but will one day face us in judgment (John 12:48; 1 Peter 1:23-25). The Holy Scriptures are understandable (Eph. 3:3-4). We can know what is right and holy (John 8:32) and we can know what is wrong and evil (1 John 4:1; 1 Thess. 5:21). Knowledge of God and His Will for all mankind is not obtained miraculously. God has spoken in times past in various ways (Heb. 1:1). In these last days, God has spoken unto us by His Son (Heb. 1:2). The apostles spoke, writers of the Holy Word wrote at the direction of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21). Today, we must read, hear, search, study (2 Tim. 2:15), first receiving the milk (1 Peter 2:2) and then the meat of the Word. Our nobility will hinge on searching the Scriptures (Acts 17:10-11), proving what we believe (1 Thess. 5:21). The Word of God is the source for all religious matters. It is the authority! It is the only authority! Jesus stated that for one to inherit the kingdom of heaven, he must do the will of the Father (Matt. 7:21)
