What do we believe?

We believe that the sixty-six books of the Bible were written by men inspired by God.

Why do we believe this?

2 Timothy 3:16 – All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness

Why does it matter?

As a kid, I used to assume that the Bible descended directly from heaven, gift-wrapped and leather bound. This was a quaint notion but it was far from the truth.

The Bible was actually written over a span of centuries by at least forty different authors. These writers wrote with particular purposes in mind and addressed issues in their own contemporary context. So does that mean the Bible is merely an ancient document that has no relevance today?

Not at all! The Bible was written by men who were inspired by God. That means that even though the words of the Scriptures were written down by humans, they were ultimately “breathed out by God.” And God had a specific purpose for every one of them: to teach, reprove, correct, and train His people in righteousness.

When we recognize this reality, it transforms how we approach the Bible. It is more than just a book of history or a collection of wise teachings; it is the authoritative revelation of God Almighty. He is its ultimate Author and He has a purpose for every single verse.

How should this truth change how you read the Scriptures?
