Training Hour: The Bible, the Word of God

I. THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD

We believe the Bible, consisting of thirty-nine Old Testament books (Genesis through Malachi) and twenty-seven New Testament books (Matthew through Revelation), was written by holy men of God who were moved by the Holy Spirit so that the result of this cooperative work is the inspired Word of God, that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without mixture of error for its substance, that it perfectly reveals the will of God, and, therefore, is the true basis for Christian unity, and the supreme standard by which all conduct, creeds, and opinions should be judged.

Psalm 19:7–11; Luke 24:27; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21
