The Confession on Scripture: A Summary

Holy Scripture, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired word of God by which he has revealed himself, his character, and his plan of salvation to men. Because it is the word of God it has supreme authority in matters of faith and practice. It weighs and judges men; men do not weigh and judge it. It is sufficient, and sufficiently clear, to guide God's church. We neglect it to our great disadvantage and peril.

Tomorrow: The doctrine of God.
