Scripture validates its own claim that it is God’s Word; we find in it perfect consistency, no contradictions, no changes in the essence of the message. The instruction in it is pure, loving, and perfect (Ps. 19:7-11, Ps. 12:6). It is living (Heb. 4:12), convicting and changing hearts, transforming lives in every age, not adjusting with the times or changing to suit people’s preferences.
