How can I be certain the Bible is the Word of God? Why do some people not believe the Bible is true? What is the role of the church’s testimony? What other evidences are there? In this week’s episode we’ll discuss these questions as more. Tune in as Joel, Shawn, Nathan and Kyle discuss Westminster Confession of Faith 1.5:
We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture.And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is, to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man’s salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it does abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God: yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.
