WLC Study Group Q & A 3-5

A study and discussion group of the Westminster Larger Catechism with Pastor Chip Byrd. Q & A 3-5:

Q3: What is the word of God?
A3: The holy scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience.

Q4: How doth it appear that the scriptures are the word of God?
A4: The scriptures manifest themselves to be the word of God, by their majesty and purity; by the consent of all the parts, and the scope of the whole, which is to give all glory to God; by their light and power to convince and convert sinners, to comfort and build up believers unto salvation: but the Spirit of God bearing witness by and with the scriptures in the heart of man, is alone able fully to persuade it that they are the very word of God.

Q5: What do the scriptures principally teach?
A5: The scriptures principally teach, what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man.
