Biblical Authority
“This book is authoritative…Our faith doesn’t hang on air…Our faith hangs on the authoritative framework of the Word of God” says Steve Ham of Answers in Genesis in today’s episode of Footsteps. So, how should this “authoritative framework” shape and support our lives? I encourage you to read and meditate on this quote from John Wycliffe:
“The true Christian was intended by Christ to prove all things by the Word of God, all churches, all ministers, all teaching, all preaching, all doctrines, all sermons, all writings, all opinions, all practices. These are his marching orders. Prove all by the Word of God; measure all by the measure of the Bible; compare all with the standard of the Bible; weigh all in the balances of the Bible; examine all by the light of the Bible; test all in the crucible of the Bible. That which cannot abide the fire of the Bible, reject, refuse, repudiate, and cast away. This is the flag which he nailed to the mast. May it never be lowered!” (John Wycliffe, quoted on Grace Quotes, accessed September 16, 2015, http://gracequotes.org/topic/authority-bible/.)
