#727: Is the Bible Authoritative in your Life?
Show Notes

I believe in the authority of the Word of God. The Bible is not just a book. It is an authoritative book. What makes it an authoritative book is the authority of the author. 


Main Points:

1. The Word of God cannot change us unless we obey it. We will not obey it unless we believe it to be God’s very words.
2. This phrase “breathed out by God” means inspired. This doesn’t mean the Bible writers woke up one morning, had a cup of coffee, and felt inspired to write something. No, it means God divinely influenced the human authors of the Scriptures in such a way that what they wrote was the very Word of God. 
3. Determine to read, study, and obey the scripture because these words come from God himself. Let the Bible be authoritative in your life.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

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

2 Peter 1:20-21 - “Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
