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.
"The Bible was given to bear witness to one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, through Christ, Redeemer of sinful man. It presents one continuous story-that of human redemption."
Merrill Unger
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

If God is the creator of all things, and of the Bible has his seal of truth and power, then the Bible has the right to interrogate my life and culture, and not the other way around.
Rosaria Butterfield
"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;
"The Bible is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking."

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
"The Bible is an armory of heavenly weapons, a laboratory of infallible medicines, a mine of exhaustless wealth. It is a guidebook for every road, a chart for every sea, a medicine for every malady, and a balm for every wound."
Thomas Guthrie
for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
J.C. Ryle
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
So many are looking for special Revelation from God while it sits on their shelves gathering dust.
Burk Parsons

So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
Your Bible is tangible evidence that the maker of the universe is a communicator; he's someone who initiates, who reveals, who speaks.
Matt Smethurst
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.
John Stott
The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.
R.C. Sproul
Bryce Canyon National Park
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
The transformed and renewed mind is the mind saturated with and controlled by the Word of God.

Martin Luther
Our spiritual maturity will never exceed our knowledge of the Bible.

The appearance of an angel from heaven could add nothing to the certainty of the declarations he has already put into our hands.
John Newton

The world tells us to follow the motivations of our hearts–in other words, to do whatever we want. In contrast, Scripture gives us boundaries that aren't meant to stifle us but instead to help us walk in the freedom of Christ.
Trillia Newbell
The Bible isn't an assistant to your old way of life. It's the doorway to your new life in Christ.

Sinclair Ferguson
We are to order our lives by the light of his law, not our guesses about His plan.

Charles Spurgeon

"Leave not off reading the Bible till you find your hearts warmed. Read the word, not only as a history, but labor to be affected with it. Let it not only inform you, but inflame you."
Thomas Watson
"The sum and substance of the preparation needed for a coming eternity is that you believe what the Bible tells you, and do what the Bible bids you."
Thomas Chalmers

J.I. Packer
Cedar Breaks National Monument, UT
"It is the students of the Bible, and they alone, who will find it a weapon ready in hand in the day of battle."
J.C. Ryle
"Why do we love to read the Scriptures daily? Because they speak to us of home. Why do we live differently from those around us? Because we remember that we are soon going home."
Iain Duguid
"Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years."
Charles Spurgeon

Gary Millar
God's word does not merely impart information; it actually creates life. It's not only descriptive; it's effective too. God speaking is God acting."

The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your perspective and find renewed strength.
Warren Wiersbe
By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
Thomas Merton
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

When you examine the Word of God, the Word of God examines you.
Jack Wellman
When the heart full of God's love can draw on the mind full of God's word, timely blessings flow from the mouth.
John Piper
Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
J. C. Ryle
Zion National Park
The idea of sola Scriptura is that there is only one written source of divine revelation, which can never be placed on a parallel status with confessional statements, creeds, or the traditions of the church. Scripture alone has the authority to bind the conscience precisely because only Scripture is the written revelation of almighty God.
R. C. Sproul
Read the Scripture, not only as a history, but as a love-letter sent to you from God.
Thomas Watson
It is not mere reading, but meditation -- "meditation all the day," as the Psalmist says -- which extracts the sweetness and the power out of Scripture.

The Bible is a supernatural book and can be understood only by supernatural aid.
A. W. Tozer
The Bible is the portrait of Jesus Christ.
John Stott

Lee Roberson
Grand Canyon National Park
The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
Chuck Colson
The Bible is God's declaratory revelation to man containing the great truths about God, about man, about history, about salvation, and about prophecy that God wanted us to know. The Bible could be trusted just as much as if God had taken the pen and written the words Himself.
John F. Walvoord
The more you read the Bible; and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
Charles Spurgeon
Death Valley National Park
It does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God.
Albert Barnes
The Bible never offers a drink from shallow waters. There, you do not find a set of petty maxims, but the everlasting love of God; you do not find any shallow views of sin, but a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. And that is the secret of the Bible’s permanence—when our little systems have ceased to be, for sin and sorrow and life and death and duty, it gives us drink “as abundant as the seas.”
George Herbert Morrison
