Subject: Resisting the Place of Scripture |
Bible Note: "You can think too highly of your interpretations of Scripture, but you cannot think too highly of Scripture's interpretation of itself. You can exaggerate your authority in handling the Scriptures, but you cannot exaggerate the Scriptures' authority to handle you. You can use the Word of God to come to wrong conclusions, but you cannot find any wrong conclusions in the Word of God. "Of the four attributes of Scripture, [sufficiency] may be the one that evangelicals forget first. If authority is the liberal problem [Scripture plus], clarity the postmodern problem, and necessity the problem for atheists and agnostics [and the 22,000 independent denominations], then sufficiency is the attribute most quickly doubted by rank-and-file churchgoing Christians. "The finality of Christ's redemption for us is intimately tied to the finality of his revelation to us. If we say revelation is not complete, we must admit that somehow the work of redemption also remains unfinished. Scripture is enough because the work of Christ is enough. They stand or fall together." --Kevin DeYoung, from his book "Taking God at His Word: Why the Bible Is Knowable, Necessary, and Enough, and What That Means for You and Me" |
