How do we know Scripture is our only rule of faith?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture states explicitly that it should not be supplemented or diminished by human reasoning (Deuteronomy 4:2).

The belief that Scripture alone is the rule of faith and practice is firmly rooted in biblical texts. Verses such as Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32 command believers not to add to or diminish from God's words. Moreover, the New Testament reinforces this principle by asserting that all doctrine must be derived from Scripture alone, as emphasized in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. The Reformed tradition upholds that this sufficiency is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the faith, preventing the church from establishing errant creeds and traditions that detract from the clear teachings of Scripture.
