P18 Conclusion to the Series: Why the Bible

2 Timothy 3:15-17 15 "and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

Introduction:

Today we conclude this two and a half week series that we have entitled "Why the Bible". For the reader I have included links to every post in the series that can be used for reference and review. The hope is that this series has introduced the reader to what is a vast and important subject. The title "why the Bible" was chosen to be stated in either the form of a question to deal with opposing viewpoints or as a simple declaration to express what the Bible itself is. The opening text above is where we started in this series. The reader must never forget that the battle for the Bible is never over but must be waged by every pastor, teacher and person in the pew. To that end I simply point the reader to the links of every post with the hope of equipping and encouraging other Christians to declare and defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. Why the Bible? Because our lives both here and for eternity depend upon it being the Word of God, pointing to God and being the written form of God's voice in today's world for the glory of Jesus Christ.
