The sufficiency and authority of the Holy Scriptures (13)

Greetings Brethren,

In our consideration of the biblical world view that is to be held by Christians, we should give emphasis to our conviction of the authority and the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures. The Bible alone is able to reveal salvation to us through Jesus Christ and it alone instructs us in the will of God so that we might live righteously before Him. This understanding of the authority and sufficiency of the Bible is affirmed by the Scriptures themselves. And although this truth had been lost to the churches for many centuries due to the Roman Catholic influence and dominance, it was recovered by the Protestant Reformation and has been the settled, foundational conviction of Protestants since then. But we also address today a very dangerous error which is threatening evangelicalism that undermines this most important doctrine.
