What Is the Bible?

The Bible is revealed knowledge inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. It is infallible because God is indeed infallible in all things, including prophecy of the Bible. It is inerrant because God speaks only truth throughout the Bible. 

The Bible teaches the faith once for all delivered to God's people (Jude 3). Revealed knowledge in the Bible is truth without any mixture of error. The same Holy Spirit, who inspired the Bible, reveals God the Father to us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Bible is revealed knowledge of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is revealed to us in Christ through the Bible (John 14:9). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He guides us into all truth (John 16:13). Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

The Bible is revealed knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:16; Hebrews 1:1-3). God the Father reveals Himself to you through God the Son, as revealed by God the Holy Spirit in the Bible. We know God through the Bible, revealed in Christ by the Holy Spirit. To know the only true God in Christ is to receive eternal life (John 17:3). The Bible is revealed knowledge inspired by the Holy Spirit.
