Biblical Authorityਨਮੂਨਾ

The 12 Apostles, plus countless bystanders, heard the Lord’s teaching and observed His many miracles (2 Peter 1:16). Later, in his “black letter” writings, Peter referred to John Mark as his spiritual son (1 Peter 5:13). It was out of their memorable times spent together that Mark penned what scholars generally believe to be the first of the four Gospels that were written. Therefore, because we both believe and have experienced what Jesus said about the Holy Spirit’s enabling ministry of recall (see John 14:26), we can joyfully celebrate the reality that both the events and the process which the Lord described have long been in progress!

Due to what Jesus specifically said about the Holy Spirit’s past and future ministry – today’s “red letter” church members cannot reasonably hold to their beliefs. If the Lord’s red-letter verses both trusted in and clearly explained the Bible’s black-letter verses, then without question, all such inspired verses share the same Biblical authority!

Take a moment to reflect and pray: Lord, help me see how You have worked through history to preserve Your Word. Give me faith to trust the authority of every part of Scripture, knowing it all flows from You. Let me walk in humble confidence as I follow Your inspired truth.
