Why is it essential for Christians to hold to scripture as the authoritative Word of God?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture is the only authoritative source for knowledge about God, salvation, and His will, and without it, one cannot come to a saving relationship with God.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that the Bible is the sole authoritative text that reveals God's character, His will, and the means of salvation. The preacher asserts, 'Apart from this book, there is no viable record or testimony on which any man or any woman might come to a saving relationship with God.' This emphasizes the necessity of relying on scripture, as it is essential for understanding God's plan and for genuine faith. The teachings of the Bible must guide a believer's beliefs, and any interpretation must be rooted in scripture to establish a correct doctrine.
