- We believe the Bible is God's word. God Himself is the Author. In the Old and New Testaments He reveals His will to us. 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Psalm 119:105; Jeremiah 15:16.
- They are directly inspired by God, for the Holy Spirit enlightened the understanding of the writers. 2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:15-17.
- They report the origin of our world and the human race, the entrance of sin, and the divine plan of redemption. Only through Jesus can a happy, eternal life be obtained in the new earth.
- They contain statements that reveal past, present, and future events to us. The prophecies which have already been fulfilled are proof of their divine origin. Isaiah 46:9, 10.
- The Bible reveals to us the necessary knowledge of and way to our soul's salvation.
- The Holy Scriptures, as the true, complete revelation of God, are the only infallible standard for our faith and life.
