Our sufficiency is not from men.

Our sufficiency is not from human wisdom.

Our sufficiency is not from human resources.

Our sufficiency is from God.

Our sufficiency, what does that mean?

That means our capability of living life in God's plan to the maximum is from him.

Welcome to Grace to you, the Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur. I'm your host,

Phil Johnson. Is the Bible still relevant? Parts of it were written over 2,000 years ago,

and those are some of the newest parts of the Bible. Most of it is older than that. So does that

mean it has nothing to say about the issues you face in 2025? Consider that today as we begin a study

titled The Sufficiency of Scripture, one of

John's most popular from his 56 years of ministry. Now, critics of this topic, the

sufficiency of Scripture, often talk about what scripture can't do. They'll point out that the

Bible doesn't teach you physics or medicine or how to get a job or how to prepare a meal.

They'll remind you that life is complex, so you need more than the Bible to navigate it well.

At least that's how the argument goes. But when we say scripture is sufficient, we aren't saying

that it answers every question there is. John MacArthur brings helpful clarity to the

doctrine of biblical sufficiency in the study we're about to begin. So follow along now as John shows

you the sufficiency of Scripture. There is, I believe, a strong and pervasive and somewhat subtle

strategy unfolding today among those who call themselves evangelical Christians.

This is being masterminded by the arch-enemy Satan and sadly being bought into by many, many people in evangelical churches.

This subtle, strong strategy basically is an attack on the sufficiency of the Word of God.
