How do we know the doctrine of Scripture's authority is true?
Answered in 2 sources
The authority of Scripture is affirmed by its transformative power in the lives of believers and its faithfulness to God's promises.
The doctrine of Scripture's authority stems from the belief that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, as seen in its ability to convict, convert, and sanctify believers. The faithful promises contained within the Scriptures are continually affirmed through the experiences of those who encounter God through His Word. In Jeremiah 23:30-32, God warns against false prophets, indicating that true authority lies in His message, which when faithfully proclaimed, leads to revival and transformation. This authority is undergirded by the historic testimony of the church and the impact of Scripture across generations.
