Intro & Article 1: The Scriptures

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.
