Can We Keep Going?

2 Peter 1:16-21 | Cody Cannon | As accurate as they were, in declaring the truth, God did not merely depend on the oral, eyewitness accounts of the apostles. Through the agency of the Holy Spirit, He superintended the recording of those experiences in the inspired revelation of Scripture. In other words, if any would question the validity of Peter’s eyewitness experience, he appealed to an even better source “the prophetic word more fully confirmed” (2 Peter 1:19). As reliable and helpful as Peter’s experience was, “the prophetic word” of Scripture is “more fully confirmed”. As we follow the story of God’s redemptive plan throughout the Bible it is God Himself who repeatedly emphasizes that His inspired word is inerrant, infallible, and the all-sufficient source of truth, which does not require human confirmation. Peter is giving us an iron-clad way to stand against the errors of false teachers...know and use your Bible.
