Believing the Bible

Many people today attack the authority of God�s Word. They throw out certain passages they don�t understand, and question many others. Yet Jesus Himself recognized the Scriptures as God�s perfect Word. The Bible itself clearly states in 2nd Timothy 3:16 that “All Scripture is God-breathed.” So if you�ve recently led someone to faith in Jesus, it�s critical to establish the truth and authenticity of the Bible with them. Remind your new brother or sister in the Lord that the Bible is God�s authoritative word. Nothing in God�s Word is unimportant. Now, not all of truth in the Bible is immediately understandable. So if your friend is struggling to understand a passage, encourage them to pray about it, and talk to someone who can help them gain insight. Nothing that the Lord has said in the Bible should ever be treated irreverently or dismissed. By accepting the Bible as God�s Word, your friend will experience authority, power, and fellowship in their new relationship with God. Belief in the full authority of Scripture is vital to living an authentic, victorious Christian life! Only through such faith can your friend receive all that God has in store for them
