Because the Church is so vital to the heart of God, Satan has unleashed an all out attack upon the Church. He does that from within and from without. He uses all means possible. One way that Satan attacks the Church is by demeaning the veracity and sufficiency of the Word. He tells us the Bible is antiquated and old. Outdated. Certainly, irrelevant for today’s enlightened society. He used this approach on Eve in the garden and Jesus in the wilderness.
The Bible claims to be and I fully embrace its inspiration. II Timothy 3:16 makes that claim unequivocally! But the next question that follows inspiration is:
Is the Bible sufficient to help us navigate life or do we need all the intellectual anthropologists, social scientists and psychologists to guide us into a full and meaningful life? Satan always suggests that we need more than the Bible. He is always wanting to add something to the Bible. And the instant you do that --- you begin to distort and pollute the truth. See II Timothy 3:17.
The major difference between truth and error is not a gaping hole but a razor’s edge.
God’s word is
Inerrant.
Inspired.
Authoritative.
Eternal.
Sufficient.
I believe it is. Do you?
