We cannot pick and choose which aspects of God’s nature we will accept. The Scriptures are His living Word.
The Bible is God’s authority. It is the sword of the Spirit.
Don’t be gullible. You are equipped to enforce Christ’s victory. You are never empty handed
Some believe that their revelation goes beyond the Word of God, and that the Word is merely a partial supplement to truth. But truth divorced from the Word is not truth.
The power of sin and death was defeated on the cross and now all men are once again free to choose their destiny.

How much importance do we place on the written Word of God? How important was it to God to have His Word written?
The motivation behind the premise that Scripture cannot mean more to you than it did to the original audience is simple. Certain false teachers have an agenda and Scripture gets in the way of that agenda.

Strengthen me according to Your word.
Your word has given me life.
Be merciful to me according to Your word.
