Biblical Authorityਨਮੂਨਾ

The world’s vast collection of spiritually unified Christian churches typically emphasizes different Biblical truths. Sometimes, mistakes occur when non-Biblical assumptions are relied upon. As an example, one particular church group only accepts what Jesus personally said while He was here on earth! From that unique perspective, all that is now printed in “black letters” in our Bibles would not be divinely inspired! In stark contrast, the Apostle Paul states that “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 complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

This belief system is left with an unavoidable question – can we trust in our own knowledge more than we trust in the knowledge of the Lord’s Apostle who personally saw Him and subsequently healed the sick, wrote much of the New Testament, and willingly suffered and died as God’s missionary to the Gentiles?

Take a moment to reflect: Are you trusting in God’s full Word, or are you leaning on your own limited understanding? Ask God to give you a heart that fully relies on His complete and inspired Scripture.
