Where
can we learn the will of God and the truth concerning
Christ?
Answer:
In the Holy Scriptures, which are known in our day
as the Bible.
Proof:
And
that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim.
3:15).
For
whatsoever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience
and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
(Romans 15:4).
The
entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth
understanding unto the simple. (Psa. 119:130).
But
now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of
the prophets, according to the commandment of
the everlasting God, made known to all nations
for the obedience of faith: (Rom. 16:26).
Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto
my path. (Psa. 119:105).

What is the Bible?
Answer:
It is a book written by the power of inspiration
working in prophets and apostles who lived in Israel
a long time ago. They lived at different times,
and each wrote his part independently of the others;
but one Spirit moved them all, and enabled them
to make known to men the mind of God in history,
precept and prophecy, so that the Bible though composed
of many books and parts, is the one Word of God.
Proof:
All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness: (2 Tim. 3:16).
God,
who at sundry times and in divers manners spake
in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
(Heb. 1:1).
Which
things also we speak, not in the words which man's
wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1
Cor. 2:13).
For
the prophecy came not in old time by the will
of man: but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:21).
Sanctify
them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John
17:17).
If
any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
let him acknowledge that the things that I write
unto you are the commandments of the Lord. (1
Cor. 14:37).
