What does the Bible say about the authority of Scripture?

Answered in 27 sources

The Bible states that all Scripture is breathed out by God and is essential for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.

The authority of Scripture is grounded in the belief that the Bible is divinely inspired. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16, 'All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.' This emphasizes not only the authority of Scripture but also its sufficiency for all aspects of life and faith. The Scriptures serve as the ultimate rule for the church, guiding its teachings and practices, and providing the foundation for understanding God’s will.
