Why is it crucial that we know the Bible is the perfect Word of God?

If I would ask you how many of you believe everything you read in the newspaper,

none except an imbecile would raise his or her hand.

If I would ask you how many of you believe everything you read in the Bible to be true,

you would lift your hand. But then if I would ask you thirdly,

how many of you spend more time in the newspapers that you don't believe than you're doing a

Bible that you do believe? You'd be embarrassed. We disregard the Bible to our own hurt.

You will not be any bigger, any better, any stronger than you believe in the Word

of God. Welcome to Love Worth Finding featuring the dynamic teaching of pastor and author

Adrian Rogers. There's an ongoing war over the Word of God. There are those who despise,

dissect, and disregard it.

But perhaps the greatest enemy of the Word of God is the one who believes in it but doesn't know it.

We will never be settled until we are settled over the Word of God.

Our salvation and sanctification depends on it.

If you have your Bible, turn now to 2 Timothy Chapter 3. We'll begin in verse 16, as Adrian Rogers reveals how to know the Bible is the Word of God.

Find, if you will, 2 Timothy, Chapter 3 and verse 16.

Here is a rudimentary, fundamental verse in the Word of God.

Listen to it.

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.

You will never be any greater in your Christian life than your conviction concerning the Word of God.
