In this episode of Let’s Talk: Truth in Love, we explore the irreplaceable role of Scripture in knowing Jesus and living out our faith. The Bible is not just a historical record or a set of moral teachings—it is the inspired revelation of God’s character, purposes, and promises. While creation may reveal God’s power and conscience may hint at His law, only Scripture shows us firsthand who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him.

Together, we unpack the authority and reliability of God’s Word. From the Psalms’ celebration of God’s law to Paul’s declaration that all Scripture is “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16–17), we see how both Old and New Testaments point to Christ. We’ll examine Jesus’ fulfillment of the Law, His call to make disciples, and how the Bible remains the primary way we hear God’s voice today.

We also address two of the greatest attacks on Scripture throughout history: denying access to the Bible in people’s own language, and denying its reliability and authority. From Wycliffe and Tyndale’s bold translations to modern debates over interpretation, the Word of God has always stood firm as the one true source of divine truth. As Paul reminds us, we must guard against shaping God into our own image or editing out the parts we don’t like.

At its heart, this conversation is about trust. Understanding the Bible requires patience, context, prayer, and the guidance of the Spirit—but when read with faith and love, all of Scripture ties together to reveal the wisdom, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ.
