Unleashing God’s Word In Your Life
Lesson 4—A Word You Can Count On
- People view the Bible differently
- “The Bible? It’s just another book.”
- “The Bible? It’s important—but I don’t read it.”
- “The Bible? It’s the only book for man”
- God’s Word Is Infallible
- “Perfect” (Ps 19:7; 119:160)
- Flawless—because it was authored by a God who is flaw-less
- God’s Word Is Inerrant
- Infallible in its totality; Inerrant in all its parts (Pr 30:5)
- Inerrancy and infallibility go hand in hand
- “Truthfulness” (Isa 65:16; Jer 10:10; Jn 3:33; 17:3; 1 Jn 5:20); from God who cannot lie (Num 23:19; Titus 1:2; Heb 6:18)
- Man has tried diligently to find fault with the Bible, but have never found even one legitimate fault
- The Bible is God’s Word and God is a God of Truth
- God’s Word Is Authoritative
- The final word—the highest standard of authority
- Many refuse to recognize the authority of the Bible, choosing instead to place themselves as the authority
- God’s Word Is Effective
- One of the most powerful claims to the Bible’s infallibility, inerrancy, and authority is its effectiveness
- God’s Word will do what it says it will do!
