INERRANT

The TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the

TRUTH

INFALLIBLE

The Bible is incapable of being wrong or mistaken or inaccurate or misleading; absolutely trustworthy and sure.

People may err, but not the Bible

Mathew 22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God.

AUTHORITATIVE

The Bible has absolute authority (power, dominion, rule, control) over me so that I must bow before the authority of the Word.

Satan wants people to think…

YOU CAN'T BE SURE (convinced, confident, positive, certain, settled, dogmatic, decided) ABOUT WHAT GOD SAYS.

. . .Prairie Kids

Didn’t he do that to Eve…Didn’t he do that to Eve…This is why the unsaved give the constant

objection, "BUT THAT'S JUST YOUR INTERPRETATION." The believer who submits to the authority of the written Word can KNOW the certainty and assurance of "THUS SAITH THE LORD!" "THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT!" "GOD HATH SAID!" (compare Genesis 3:1).

INSPIRED INSPIRED

2 Timothy 3:16 tells us All scripture is inspired by God. This literally means "GOD-BREATHED." To say that "all Scripture is God-breathed" is to say that all Scripture is breathed out from the mouth of God.

Let no man dare…Let no man dare…

to decide which parts of the Bible are true! What folly for a mere man to choose what parts he will accept and what parts he will reject!

who gladly receives ALL the Bible as God's truth!
