Bible Question: Do you have to believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God to be saved? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Kalos, If one believes the message of John 3:16 without first reading it from Scripture, then I would agree that one does not absolutely have to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture before becoming saved. However, at the same time, "faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17) Therefore, one could argue that if a person does not first believe that the message that he hears or reads from the Bible first came from God, and is therefore perfect, then how could he be saved? Perhaps it is the *response* that the word of God has in our hearts that makes the difference, when we are first exposed to it, either by word of mouth or hearing or reading it for the first time.. Isaiah 55:11 "So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." John 5:24 ΒΆ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him." Blessings to you, Makarios |
