I believe the Bible is completely and wholly the Word of God.
It is broken into books and verses, but they work in unison to speak the message of God's love. It's a story with a beginning, but only glimpses of "the ending" and thereafter.
Accepting the Truth of God's word is the first step in understanding it.
- Yes, it was physically written by fallible humans - but I know God is bigger.
- Yes, interpretation is tricky and is known to bring controversy, but the Holy Spirit is promised to us.
The Holy Spirit gives us clarity as we are open to it. That is the importance of the "Blank Canvas". We need to come to scripture very open and teachable.
The following scriptures speak of the power, validity, and necessity of God's Word.
