What is the Bible? 1

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 
2 Timothy 3:16-17(KJV)

The word scripture in our opening scripture is the word ‘graphe’ in the Greek. It refers to something that is written or a writing. Therefore, we can say that the Bible is a written documentation of divine utterance. It’s a revelation of God’s perspective about everything. The Bible is the accurate revelation of God, His personality, His character, and His plan for redemption for all people. The Bible is the progressive revelation of God’s redemptive plan. It is the objective revelation of all that God is, His intentions, and His program for man.

Without the Bible, there will be no accurate way of determining what is true. This is because if we were left on our own to determine what is true, you will have your own opinion and I will have mine own opinion of truth. But God has not left us to ourselves; He gave us a written document to determine truth.

The Bible is that written document God has given us to determine accurate truth. Not our opinions, or science, nor the conclusions of men. The Bible is absolute truth. 

Confession
I believe that the Bible is the conclusive revelation of God. I accept that the Bible is God’s perspective on everything and the authentic document in determining truth. I accept what the Bible teaches as absolute truth for governing my life everyday. Amen.
