In today’s world, where information is readily available and opinions flood our screens, the importance of discerning what we believe has never been more critical. The message reminds us that if we are to trust any written word, we should start with the most trustworthy—a foundation built upon the Scriptures. The Bible is not merely a historical document; it is a living text that offers guidance, truth, and wisdom surpassing human understanding. It invites us into a profound relationship with God, revealing His character and intentions for our lives. As we delve into its verses, we are encouraged to approach it with an open heart and a willing spirit, allowing its truths to shape our thoughts and actions. Embracing the Bible as our primary source of belief encourages us to test all other readings against its eternal truths, fostering a life of faith, integrity, and purpose.
