WHY I BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO BE THE WORD OF GOD
Why I Believe the Bible to Be the Word of God
Adrian Rogers
2 Timothy 3
I want you to take your Bibles please and turn with me to II Timothy chapter 3 and we'll begin our reading in verse 14. Paul is talking to young Timothy and he says, ''But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and has been assured of knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.''

The thing that keeps me going is not primarily what I feel. Now, I thank God for feelings, but I'm a fellow who operates in a moderately narrowed band. I don't get all that high and I don't get all that low, but the thing that keeps me going is not what I feel but what I know. It is the truth of God's Word, the principles, and the promises, and the power of God's Word that sustain me and keep me going. If you do not know God's Word and, beyond knowing God's Word, have that firm assurance that the Bible is indeed the inspired Word of God, you're going to be floundering around in your Christian life. These hath God married and no man shall part, dust on the Bible and drought in the heart.
Now, Paul here is talking to Timothy about the Bible and he tells him several things about the Bible. First of all, he says that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God in verse 16. That literally means that all Scripture is the breath of God. You see, as I'm speaking to you right now what you're hearing is my ...
