The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

Seeing Clearly Have you ever tried to read the Bible but didn't understand it? Why would the Word of God be so difficult to read? His Word is spiritual language, and we simply need an interpreter (or decoder) to help us understand it. That is where we ask the Spirit of God to apply the Word of God to our hearts. I know sometimes it seems almost impossible to understand, kind of like trying to open your eyes under water. However we can see clearly, when we are looking through the right goggles.
