Scripture Cannot Be Broken
With this teaching we begin a short series exploring two main questions: What is the Bible? And how should we respond to it? Our starting place is with Jesus and His view of the Bible as unbreakable, trustworthy, authoritative, coherent, and divinely-inspired. Even more, Jesus sees the whole Bible as chiefly about Himself. In the end, if we want to follow Jesus in these things we, too, must come to see the Bible as human words spoken and written from God by His Spirit. Thus, the only proper response is to come to the Scriptures with a posture that says, "Here I am, Lord—speak!"
