We know the Bible is God's word because it has been settled in heaven and stands as our foundation for faith (Psalm 119:89).
The belief that the Bible is the very word of God is fundamental to the Christian faith. Psalm 119:89 states, 'Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven,' which signifies its eternal authority and truth. Unless we recognize and accept the Bible as God's word, we lack the foundation necessary for assurance and joy in our faith. This acceptance leads to a deeper reliance on the scriptures for guidance through life’s trials, affirming that God’s promises, like His goodness and mercy, remain steadfast for believers.
