Which of these has the greater authority in our lives?(1) Human philosophy (2) Reasoning (3) Tradition (4) Scientific “Fact” or (5) Biblical Truth, i.e., the Word of God?

Can we all emphatically answer that God’s Word has the greatest authority in our lives, affecting every decision we make?

The Word of God has many who twist it, mock it, malign it, hate it, and others who ignore it.  But, none of these approaches to the Word of God will ever destroy it.

It is the Word that is able to make us wise unto salvation. (2 Timothy 3:15).  It is also the Word  that lives and abides forever (1 Peter 1:23).

So, why are there so many people who do not believe or appreciate God’s Word? The Bible itself points us to the answer:

• Although the Word of God was written down and translated multiple times by humans, it is still the Word of God.

• God INSPIRED it (2 Peter 1:21).

• The words our Savior spoke are “spirit” and they are “life” (John 6:63).

• The “spiritual” Word of God is spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14).  For someone to truly understand the Word, God must provide spiritual access.

Do we get the point?  What do we really use for our decision making authority and direction?  The Word of God must be our foundation for right knowledge, i.e., truth.
