The Bible


The Bible
The Bible is God’s Holy Spirit inspired message to us.
The Bible reveals to us who God is, what his character is, what he expects from us.
The Bible reveals to us who we are - sinners in dire need of redemption.
The Bible reveals to us God’s unique salvation plan in Christ, through his cross and resurrection.
The Bible reveals God’s will for our lives and our worship and the Holy Spirit speaks through the Bible to change us, to grant us faith and to inspire us to serve the Lord.

Without the Bible we would have had no knowledge of God and of his redemption offer in Christ.
Without the Bible we cannot preach the Gospel and cannot have a personal testimony of salvation.
Without the Bible there would be no preaching, teaching or pastoring in the Church of Christ in the world.

The Bible is God’s final, highest and complete authority on all matters of life and faith.
Let’s celebrate God’s Word in the Bible with joy and thanksgiving!
Let’s make sure that everyone owns a Bible and pray for the Spirit’s work through God’s Word in the Holy Scriptures.
