Cross Training V
I Inspired
A. 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21 – it has its source from the mouth of God
B. Luke 16:17; Mark 12:24-27; Acts 1:16 - every word is God’s
C. Implications
1. How we read it – not for feeling – but every word matters
2. Inerrant/True – Rom. 3:3, 4; Num. 23:19
II Authoritative
A. 1 Thess 2:13; 1 John 5:9– Supreme source of truth
B. Deut. 6:13-15; Eph 1:11 – it – uh – matters. Pay attention.
C. Implications
1. Evangeslism – you don’t evaluate it – it’s more authoritative than your interpretations of data
2. We are to submit to it in thought, word, deed, etc. – know it!
3. It interprets itself, ultimately – not you interpreting it
III Necessary
A. God does communicate his glory through nature – Psalm 19:1-3, Romans 2:14-15
B. But it only does enough to condemn us – Rom. 1:18-21
C. Rom. 10:13-15; John 3:36 – Gospel must be heard
D. Implications
1. ‘Preach the gospel and when necessary use words’ – ridiculous
2. Not relying on other things to save people! (community, etc.)
IV Sufficient
A. For salvation – 2 Tim. 3:15
B. For holy living – 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Mark 7:1-9
C. Implications
1. Do not take anything else as authoritative
2. Know it – and you’ll know how to live
3. Surround yourself with people that point you to it – including preachers/preaching
V Christocentric
A. Luke 24:27
B. John 5:39
C. Heb. 1:1-3
D. John 10:9-11
