The Bible is
the divinely-inspired Word of God, therepository of His plan of salvation and the
record of His participation in history. The Bible is God's revelation of knowledge that
man cannot discover for himself.
It is the foundation
of knowledge and the guidebook to life. The Old and New Testament comprise God's written
Word which forms the basis of Christianity as taught by the Church and as practiced by the
individual Christian.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
--2 Tim. 3:16
