Inspired

The Old Testament and the New Testament are the inspired word of God. If I believe nothing else, I believe this. God has spoken to us in the past through scripture, He continues in the present to speak through scripture and He will in the future

God has always been speaking to us. He uses creation to reach us. David writes in Psalm 19 of the heavens declaring the glory of God. The skies are evidence of His handiwork. Nature point to the existence of God. Scripture teaches us of salvation.

All scripture is useful; useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. Scripture equips us for good works. As Adam was placed in the garden to work, we are given scripture to prepare us for work. The work we are prepared for is found in the will of God, found in the word of God.

We read scripture with an end in mind, that God will speak to us. He does, we need to bring the good news of salvation to the world.
