WHAT THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ITSELF

II. What the Bible Say About Itself

1.         The Bible, of course, strongly claims that its writings are from God.                                                Given below are a few texts from the Scripture.

       “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:  for the time is at hand.”- Revelation. 1: 3.

2. King David said:

       “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple” - Psl 19: 7.

       “Thy words have I hid in mine heart,that I might not sin against thee”- Psl. 119: 11.

        “For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven”-  Psl. 119: 89.

        “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path"- Psl. 119: 105.

         “…who …. meditates over this book …..be like a tree planted by the side of a river…whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” - Psl.  1:3.

3. King Solomon concluded:

         “Fear God,  keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”-Eccl. 12:13.

      “Who despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded” - Pro. 13: 13.

4. Joshua insisted Israelites:

              “Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the Law of Moses, that ye turn not aside there from to the right hand or to the left” - Jos. 23: 6.

                                                  5. Samuel claimed:

            “The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, his word was in my tongue”                                                                                                                                               - 2 Sam. 23: 2.

                                                  6. St. Paul’s testimony:

               (Ref.1 Cor. 2:4,13;15:3;  1Thess. 2:13; 4:15) He called this Book “The Holy Scripture” - Rom.1: 2.

                “The ‘Sacred writings”- 2Tim.3:15,“The Oracles of God” -Rom. 3 : 2.

              “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed  rightly dividing the word of truth. - 2 Tim. 2:15.

              "Hold fast the form of sound words, which  thou hast heard of me,in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus” - 2 Tim. 1:13.

                  “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets” -  Heb 1:1.

7. St. Peter’s testimony

                   “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy  men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” - 2 Pet. 1:21.

                   “That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before  by the holy prophets,and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour”                                                                                                    - 2 Pet. 3:2 

   The Divine Authority of the Scripture is evident from the phrase used in it - 
     “Thus saith the Lord” or  “The Word of the Lord came to me”.
