The Bible is inerrant. This has always been the conviction of believers throughout the ages until the 18th century Enlightenment when audacious attacks were mounted against Scripture. In this study of the doctrine of inerrancy, we examine the biblical basis for inerrancy, its history that culminated with the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, its clarification given by that statement, and the dangers of holding to an errantist view of Scripture.
The call to repent and believe in Jesus Christ is heard by many but only some receive it. Those who receive the call, by faith, will also receive the sanctifying aspect of the call so that holiness becomes evident in their lives.
“When the Bible speaks, God speaks.” This is divine authority with which Scripture speaks is the logical and natural implication of the doctrine of inspiration. If the Bible is breathed out by God, then it stands to reason that it speaks with His authority. Scripture confirms this to be so. The word of God comes like a thunder and a roar and all who believe tremble at His word.
Many reject the call of the gospel, but some receive it. God’s elect will heed and live in holiness before God who throughout Scripture has called sinners through a sanctifying message.
A genuine love for the church shows that a person is in Christ. The necessary consequence is that they are used by Him to build up fellow believers through their speech.
The cross where the Savior died is also where Jesus calls us to crucify the flesh and follow Him.
Because Christ suffered in the flesh, believers are commanded to arm themselves with the same mindset, resolving to turn away from sin and live for the will of God. The time spent pursuing worldly desires such as sensuality, drunkenness, and idolatry is enough for the past, for Christians are no longer settlers in this world but sojourners who now live to please their heavenly Father. Though the world may be surprised and even malign those who no longer join in its excesses, all people will ultimately give account to God who judges the living and the dead. Therefore, Christians must fix their minds on Christ, follow His will through His word, and live with the confidence that the gospel transforms lives and promises eternal life to those who trust in Him.
Because Jesus Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, He made a way to bring sinners to God so that believers may live with a good conscience before Him. Just as Noah trusted and obeyed God and was saved through the ark, baptism now represents not an outward washing but an appeal to God for a clean conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Since Christ has risen, ascended, and now reigns at God’s right hand over every authority and power, Christians are called to live with clear consciences by confessing sin, trusting Christ fully, and walking in faithful obedience to Him.
Living for Christ in a fallen world often brings challenges, ridicule, or even persecution. In this passage, Peter reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about how we respond when opposition comes. Christians are called to sanctify Christ as Lord in their hearts, letting Him guide their thoughts, words, and actions. By actively pursuing what is good, trusting God amid hostility, speaking about our hope with gentleness, and living with integrity, our lives become a testimony that honors God. Even when suffering for doing right, we reflect Christ’s character and bring glory to Him, showing the world the power of a life fully surrendered to Jesus.
Do you need reminders? Yes. We all do! Let’s see how Moses reminds Israelites of God’s law and commandments.
There was someone who wanted to curse the Israelites. He wanted this so badly that he tried everything to get it to happen. Instead… the opposite happened. The Israelites were blessed! Let’s find out more about this.
Both Moses and Israel show unbelief and will bear their consequences. But God shows mercy to Israel and calls Israel to believe Him to be saved – what does believing in Him look like?
