“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness…” (2 Timothy 3:16“The whole Bible unfolds the divine scheme of salvation – man’s creation in God’s image, his fall through disobedience into sin and under judgment, God’s continuing love for him in spite of his rebellion, God’s eternal plan to save him through his covenant of grace with a chosen people, culminating in Christ; the coming of Christ as the Savior, who died to bear man’s sin, was raised from death, was exalted to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit; and man’s rescue from guilt and alienation, then from bondage, and finally from mortality in his progressive experience of the liberty of God’s children. None of this would be known apart from Biblical revelation. )Any structure, lifestyle, curriculum, home, organization, or endeavor can only be as strong as it’s foundation. Jesus told his followers that the proper foundation for our spiritual house is God. We must never get too far away from the fundamental teachings of God found in scripture.Scripture is the guidebook that provides the only reliable directions for spiritual formation.“Preaching is not the act of unfolding our personal convictions. GPS navigational system in cars provides constant mapping. Miss your turn it immediately adjusts directions. The Bible is a divinely provided map of the spiritual order. It contains the directions and markings to guide a person into reconciliation with God.”
