How do we know the Bible is the rule of faith and practice?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible consistently reveals God's will and serves as the only infallible authority for believers in matters of faith and conduct.

In his response to the lawyer, Jesus affirms the authority of Scripture by pointing him to the Old Testament. J.C. Ryle emphasizes this principle, stating that the Bible should be the sole guide for our faith and practice. This necessity arises from its divine inspiration, as articulated in 2 Timothy 3:16, confirming that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching and correction. By holding to the Scriptures, believers stay aligned with divine truth, avoiding the errors that originate from human tradition or interpretation. A true Christian practice is measured by adherence to the Biblical text, which remains a steadfast anchor in the moral and spiritual landscape of human experience.
