3. The Bible
2 Timothy 3:16-17 – “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
A firm belief in the authority of God’s Word and an increasing knowledge of its contents is imperative for a new believer. A desire for and an ability to understand the Bible is one key evidence that a person truly has been saved. The Bible is our source of wisdom for life and is far more than just a book of rules or instructions. It is the written revelation of God Himself.
The Bible is comprised of 66 books, written by 40 authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit over a period of 1,500 years, and preserved for nearly 2,000 years. A new believer must learn to read it, study it, meditate on it, memorize it, and apply it to every aspect of life.
