- What is the Word of God?
- The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, being given by divine inspiration, are the Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
Memory Verse(s)
- “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether” (Psalm 19:7-9, ESV).
Scripture
- Study Passage: Psalm 19
- Support Passages: Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 2; Hebrews 1:1-3; John 1:14
- Bible Story: Exodus 32:1-21; Exodus 24:4, 7-8, 12
Thoughts
- There are two types of revelation: general and special revelation. General revelation is what we can learn about God from the things we can see. For example, we know that God is orderly because we see His creation is full of order. Special revelation is information about God found only in the scriptures. Scripture is the only place that informs us that God has sent His Son to be the substitute for our sins.
- The Bible is the only source of the saving knowledge of God therefore we must study it and follow its commands. Jesus said that if we love the Father we will keep His commands. We study and obey not to gain merit with God but to shows our love and respect for God. Our Father’s commands are not intended to be burdensome but an abundant life freed from sin.
