Why is comparing Scripture with Scripture important?

Answered in 1 source

Comparing Scripture with Scripture helps ensure accurate interpretation and understanding of biblical truths.

The practice of comparing Scripture with Scripture is crucial for accurate biblical interpretation. As 1 Corinthians 2:13 states, we should communicate spiritual truths in spiritual words, facilitated by the Holy Spirit's guidance. This method helps prevent misinterpretation that arises from taking verses out of context. Each part of Scripture informs the other, revealing a harmonious message that centers on Christ. By ensuring that our interpretations align with the entirety of God's Word, we protect ourselves from errant doctrines that may arise from personal bias or misunderstanding. This principle not only deepens our understanding of the Scriptures but also glorifies God, as we see the intricate unity of His revelation.
