INFALLIBLE

 “That’s how it is with my words. They don’t return to me without doing everything I send them to do.” – Isa 55:11 (CEV)

For a Believer’s interaction with the Bible to be spiritually productive, he or she must hold it in the highest of esteem. They must see it for what it is – the very Words of God Almighty to humanity. That means they must affirm that it’s Inspired, it’s Inerrant and it’s Infallible.

The Inspiration and Inerrancy of Scriptures, though key to the foundation of our faith, can sometimes feel like the headache for only theologians and ‘intellectual’ Christians. But Infallibility is where the rubber meets the road. Because, after all has been said and done, we all want to be sure whether we can trust our lives and indeed our eternal destinies on the words in the Bible.

The Infallibility of scripture simply means that it is “incapable of failing”. The Bible is peppered with lots of promises and definite statements. It tells us that whosoever believes in Christ shall not perish, but have eternal life; it says that God will NEVER leave us nor forsake us; and in it Jesus says He is going to prepare our place and will come back again for us,  (Jn 3:15; 14:3; Heb 13:5).

If the Bible is not Infallible then, like Paul said, we are of all men most pitiable (1Co 15:19).

Our spiritual lives cannot rise above our opinion and understanding of the Bible. If the Bible is nothing more than a nice, useful book to us then we will get nothing but nice, useful advice from it. But if we see it as the ever-living, ever-abiding, incorruptible word of God, it’ll radically transform our lives for the better.  

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.

The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the word of the Lord endures forever.

And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

– 1Pe 1:24-25.

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
