Scripture Centers On Christ's Saving Grace
- The core purpose of Scripture is to reveal God's saving grace in Christ, not merely to provide moral rules or facts.
- Memorizing words without seeing that they point to Jesus misses Scripture's central message.
Infallibility Is Unique To Scripture
- Infallibility means Scripture cannot fail in what it intends to teach and is an inherent property unique to Scripture.
- This ensures believers need not doubt whether Scripture's testimony about salvation is true.
How Inerrancy Relates To Infallibility
- Inerrancy means a text is without error and technically can apply to non-scriptural works, but it flows from Scripture's infallibility.
- Scripture is both infallible (by nature) and inerrant (in actuality), securing its trustworthiness.
