The Word of God tells us all we ever need to know about God. We don't need to experience sin to know what it is, the word of God will tell us all we need to know about it. The same goes for several other subjects.
The Word of God is perfect, permanent, precious, personal, practical, powerful and pre-eminent.
- Perfect: It contains no error
- Permanent: It has not and it will not and it cannot change
- Precious: It is to be cherished by God's people above all of life's possessions
- Personal: It is a divine love letter with specific instructions just for you.
- Practical: It has an answer for every question you will ever ask
- Powerful: It actually contains life and imparts actual power to implement change.
- Pre-eminent: It must be pre-eminent in the life of the Christian. It must be the controlling, dominating factor in your life. As such it needs to be the number one priority around which you shape your life.
