Scripture Alone

Sola Scriptura

Scripture
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Devo
Sola Scriptura means “Scripture Alone.” It is the belief that the Bible alone is the Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. One of the greatest passages on this topic is 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
If these statements are true, then they should inspire us to wrestle through our own view of Scripture. Is the Bible our go-to resource when answering life’s biggest questions, or is it just one of many options out there? The best way to cultivate a Biblical perspective is to spend daily time with God in his Word.
The importance of daily time in the Word can hardly be overstated. As theologians like to point out, right doctrine inspires right living. God’s primary way of speaking to hearts and minds is through his inerrant Word. If we have a true longing to see the world the way God does, then naturally we will long for his guiding voice in our lives. The good news is that God is not silent. His Word is living and active, sharper than a two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).
So how about you? Is your view of the world rooted and grounded in Scripture? Maybe today is the day to finally embrace Sola Scriputra.
