Unless the author of the Bible is  God, the scripture is simply the collection of ancient man’s thoughts and ideas, it might be uplighting and even inspiring, but we wouldn’t consider it authoritative. Yet, if the author is truly God Almighty, then His words are as eternal as He is. His words are relevant for every generation. His words and life-changing are transformative.


Main Points:

1. There is a question today in our culture about the continued validity and relevance of the Bible. Many no longer consider the Scripture to be inspired by God and they certainly do not regard it to hold any kind of authority over their beliefs or actions. 


2. The relevance and authority of the Bible are still in place, they are eternal, because of its source, the very mouth of God.


3. The Bible is the eternal, unchanging, always-relevant, Word of God. Through its pages, we are introduced to the author. We come to know Him in a personal way and we are transformed.
