How Did We Get the Bible?

The sermon explores the historical and theological process of how the Bible was compiled, addressing common myths surrounding its formation, particularly the role of the Council of Nicaea and the existence of early Christian writings. It traces the organic recognition of canonical books through the work of early church fathers and emphasizes that the process was guided by the Holy Spirit, resulting in a collection of writings that Christians have consistently recognized as authoritative. Ultimately, the presentation underscores the importance of trusting in God's providence and the enduring nature of his word, rather than relying on artificial declarations or human authority.
