“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;” Hebrews 6:18-19
The scriptures are trustworthy and they are dependable for our support. There is no other resource for the Christian, which can offer the power, which is in God’s Word. John Gill has so adequately stated: “A sure, certain, and infallible rule to go by, with respect to things both to be believed and done: a rule they are, #Ga 6:16. And since they are of divine authority, and are perfect and plain, they are a sure rule, and to be depended on;”[1]
The scriptures are our infallible guide in what to believe and how to live. The scriptures speak on all matters clear and plain. Why should man seek the obscure when he can have clear and plain truths?
“To prove the perspicuity of the scriptures; for since they are a rule of faith and practice, they should be clear and plain, as they are: not that they are equally clear and plain; some parts are dark and obscure.”[2]
