12 Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scriptures

13 The Necessity of the Word of God (Paragraph 1) The Assertion The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith and obedience Reason #1 Because of the nature of general revelation What general revelation does (Psalm 19:1-3) What general revelation cannot do (Psalm 19:7-11) as distinct from special revelation Reason #2 Because of the purpose of inscripturation Preserving and propagating the truth Establishment and comfort of the church against Corruption of the flesh Malice of Satan and the world Implications of the Assertion Recommended Reading -The Canon of Scripture by F. F. Bruce -The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism by G. K. Beale which makes the Holy Scriptures to be most necessary, those former ways of God's revealing his will unto his people being now ceased.

14 The Identity of the Word of God (Paragraph 2 & 3) What is considered to be the Word of God? all the books of the Old and New Testament Canonization The Old Testament Christ: Luke 24:44 NT writers: Acts 28:23 The New Testament Ephesians 3:1-7 Revelation 21:5 Recommended Reading -Revelation and the Bible Chapter 11, The Apocrypha By G. Douglas Young What is not considered to be the Word of God? Apocrypha: Tobit, Judith, Additions to Esther, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Additions to Daniel (Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon), 1 & 2 Maccabees, 1 & 2 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh Distinguished from the Roman Catholic Church and Anglican Church

15 The Authority of the Word of God (Paragraph 4 & 5) The Bible does not need the churches approval to be authoritative The Bible is authoritative because it is God s Word How do we know it is God s Word? Evidences Secondary The testimony of the Church of God The testimony of the Scripture itself the heavenliness of the matter the efficacy of the doctrine the majesty of the style the consent of all the parts the scope of the whole (to give all glory to God) Recommended Reading -Authority By D. M. Lloyd-Jones -A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, Chapter 1 By Samuel Waldron the full discovery it makes of the only way of mans salvation other incomparable excellencies and entire perfections Primary The Holy Spirit bears witness in our hearts by and with the Word Self-Authenticating

16 The Sufficiency of the Word of God (Paragraph 6) Is the Bible enough? 2 Timothy 3:14-17 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. What about new revelations? the traditions of the church? Some qualifications The necessity of the illumination of the Holy Spirit The place of common sense Recommended Reading -Our Sufficiency in Christ, Chapter 4 By John MacArthur, Jr.

17 The Clarity of the Word of God (Paragraph 7) Must you be a Greek scholar to understand what the Bible teaches? In some parts, knowledge of the languages and culture would be helpful even necessary to understand the passage and its application However, truths necessary for salvation are clear and available to all using ordinary means Recommended Reading -Introduction to Biblical Interpretation by Klein, Blomberg, Hubbard -Principles of Interpretation by Louis Berkhof -Interpreting the Bible by Berkeley Mickelsen -Protestant Biblical Interpretation by Bernard Ramm

18 The Availability of the Word of God (Paragraph 8) Original s inspired and copies authentic Textual criticism The necessity of translation Salvation is not for the Jew only, but for the Gentile from every tribe, tongue, and nation The end of translation The worship of God Hope Recommended Reading -The New Testament Documents by F. F. Bruce -Introduction to New Testament Textual Criticism by J. Harold Greenlee -New Testament Textual Criticism by David Alan Black

19 The Finality of God s Word (Paragraph 9 &10) Scriptural provides it s own framework of understanding itself Scripture interprets scripture The Supremacy of the Word of God Recommended Reading -The Bible By God

20 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scriptures The Scriptures are necessary, authoritative, sufficient, clear, and the final judge on all matters of the faith and ought to be made available to all in every language.
