The Scriptures are the Inspired Word of God
3/23/2018
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God presenting to us the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and constituting the Divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Peter 1:21 (KJV) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 (KJV)
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
We know that Jesus accepted the Old Testament as the infallible Word of God because of his statement found in Matthew 5:18; “one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. We know that Daniel prophesied about the “Catching away” of the Bride of Christ and the times that led up to it. Therefore we can all know and rest assured that both the Old and the New Testaments are the inspired Word of God.
Matthew 5:17-19 (KJV)
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
