My Convictions about the Bible

                                                                             Psalms 119:105

The Purpose of the Bible;

The Bible is God's holy Word given to guide humanity toward truth. Its purpose is not merely to provide information but transformation. Through Scripture we learn who God is, who we are, and how salvation comes through faith.

The Bible teaches us: To know God personally. To understand right from wrong.

To grow spiritually. To find comfort during sorrow. To receive wisdom for daily living.

To point others toward Christ. Just as a lamp lights one step at a time, God's Word gives direction for life's journey.

Crucial Thoughts About Our Convictions Concerning the Bible

1. We believe the Bible is true.

God's Word does not change with culture or time. Opinions shift, but Scripture remains steadfast.

2. We believe the Bible is our authority.

When decisions arise, believers do not simply ask, "What do I want?" but "What does God's Word say?"

3. We believe the Bible brings spiritual growth.

4. We believe the Bible reveals God's promises.

5. We believe the Bible must be lived, not merely read.

6. We learn that reading Scripture daily strengthens our faith just as food strengthens the body. Knowing Scripture matters little unless it changes our actions, attitudes, and character.

When joy overflows, we give thanks through God's Word in prayer, back to God.

This Book, has corrected me, comforted me, strengthened me, and guided me. God's Word has never failed. Life will bring dark valleys and uncertain roads. Yet believers hold this conviction: God's Word remains our lamp and our light.

                                           For when the world grows dim, the Bible still shines.
