The Bible – The Word of God
I. The Bible Is The Inspired Word Of God
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16
The Bible claims to be the inspired word of God. By “inspiration” we mean the Holy Spirit exerted His
supernatural influence upon the the writers of the Bible.
1. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible (2 Peter 1:21)
2. Man is the instrument used by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible.
3. Results: the infallible Word of God.
Therefore the Bible is free from error and absolutely trustworthy (Ps. 119: 89), (Matt. 24:35).
II. The Bible Is A Spiritual Book
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can
he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself
is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the
mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:14-16
1. The Bible came from the infinite to the finite–from the unlimited, all powerful God to limited man.
2. You cannot understand the Bible as you would understand the writings of great philosophers.
3. If the Bible could be understood by natural man, it would be a natural book, and could not be the
Word of God.
4. You must be born of the Spirit before you can receive its teachings.
(John 3:6) and filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18).
Always approach the Bible praying that the Spirit will be your teacher and will guide you to a better
understanding of His Holy Word, or it will remain a difficult, closed book.
III. The Bible Is A Book Of Oneness
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by
the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21
The unity of the Bible is a miracle. It is a library of 66 books, written by over 35 different authors, in a period of
approximately 1,500 years.
1. Its authors represent a cross section a humanity, educated and uneducated, including kings,
fishermen, public officials, farmers, teachers and physicians.

God
I. The Existence Of God
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated
him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to
please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him.
Hebrews 11:5-6
The existence of God is a fact. “In the Beginning God (Genesis 1:1) The Bible opens by announcing the
sublime fact of God and His existence. Some arguments for the existence of God are:
1. Within man there is an universal believe in God that comes from rational intuition.
2. The argument for cause and effect. Everything that began owes its existence to a cause.
3. The argument for anthropology. Man’s moral and intellectual nature argues for a moral and
intellectual creator.
The Bible and the Christ that it reveals, His virgin birth, His sinless nature, His vicarious death and His
bodily resurrection all of this and much more argue for the existence of God.
II. The Personality Of God
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from
idols to serve the living and true God; 1 Thessalonians 1:9
The Bible reveals God as a personality. He is called “the living and true God.” One possessing self
consciousness and self-determination. His personality is shown in what He does, such as:
1. God loves. God so loved the world (John 3:16).
2. God hates. These six things doth the LORD hate (Prov. 6:16).
3. God cares. For he careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7).
4. God grieves. It grieved him at his heart. (Gen. 6:6).
Only a personality can love, hate, care and grieve; therefore, God must be a living, eternal, personal being.
III. The Nature Of God
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8
There are four definitions of God in the Bible. Since God cannot be defined, they are incomplete. However
they do throw light upon the nature of God. They are:
1. God is love (1 John 4:8). This is the nature of God in His divine compassion.
2. God is light (1 John 1:5). This is the nature of God in His divine character; in Him there is no
darkness.
3. God is consuming fire (Heb. 12:29). This is the nature of God in His divine holiness.
4. God is Spirit (John 4:24). This is the divine nature of God in His divine essence.

III. The Book Of Oneness Continued
2. Its subjects include religion, history, law, science, poetry, drama, biography and prophecy.
3. Its various parts are as harmoniously united as the parts that make up the human body.
For 35 authors, with such various backgrounds, to write on so many subjects, over a period of approximately
1,500 years, in absolute harmony, is a mathematical impossibility. It could not happen. The only adequate
explanation is “Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
IV. The Bible Is Quick And Powerful
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents
of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
1. The Bible has a dividing power. The Bible will separate man from sin (Psalm 119:11) or sin will
separate man from the Bible (Isaiah 59:2).
2. The Bible has a reflecting power (James 1 22-25).
3. The Bible has a cleansing power (Eph. 5:26). David prayed that God would wash him from iniquity
and cleanse him from sin (Ps. 51:2).
4. The Bible has reproductive power (1 Peter 1:23). We are children of God because we have been
born into the family of God by the incorruptible seed of God. This is the new birth (John 3:1-7).
5. The Bible has a nourishing power (1 Peter 2:2). The Bible is spiritual food for the soul. No Christian
can remain strong in the Lord and not study the Word of God.
V. The Bible Commands The Believer To Study The Scriptures
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
“Study to show thyself approved of God” is a command. As you study the Bible, you will discover that it does
not just contain the Word of God, it IS the word of God.
As you study the Bible, ask yourself these questions:
1. Who is speaking: God, a demon, an angel or a man?
2. To whom is he speaking: to the nation Israel, to the Gentiles, to the church, to men in general or to
some individual man or being?
3. How can this Scripture be applied to my own life to make me a better Christian?
2. Its subjects include religion, history, law, science, poetry, drama, biography and prophecy.
3. Its various parts are as harmoniously united as the parts that make up the human body.

some individual man or being?
3. How can this Scripture be applied to my own life to make me a better Christian?
IV. The Grace of God
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Grace is the love and mercy of God in action. Mercy is negative, and love is positive; both together mean
grace. To show mercy in love is grace. God showed mercy in love when He sent His son to bear our sins in
His own body on the cross (John 3:16).
1. The grace of God saves forever (Rom. 8:38,39).
2. The grace of God is unconditional.
3. The grace of God is sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9).
4. The grace of God makes no discrimination (Rev. 22:17).
5. The grace of God justifies (Rom. 3:23,24).
6. The grace of God makes every believer an heir (Titus 3:7).
7. The grace of God teaches the believer how to live (Titus 2:11,12).
The grace of God is nothing less than the unlimited love of God expressed in the gift of His Son, our Savior. It
is the undeserved love of God toward sinners.
V. The Trinity of God
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened
unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from
heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:16,17
By the trinity of God we mean His tri-personal existence as Father, Son and Holy Spirit – three distinct
persons in one God.
1. The Father is recognized as God (1 Peter 1:2) and is all the fullness of the Godhead invisible (John 1:
18).
2. The Son is recognized as God (Heb. 1:8) and is all the fullness of the Godhead manifested in the
flesh (John 1:14).
3. The Holy Spirit is recognized as God (Acts 5:3,4) and is all the fullness of the Godhead acting upon
man, convicting him of sin (John 16:7-11) and guiding the believer into all truth (John 16:12-15).
4. The doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the Old Testament, but is rather implied, “And God said,
Let US make man...” (Gen. 1:26).
5. The doctrine of the Trinity is revealed in the New Testament. In the above scripture (Matt. 3:16-17) we
have Christ being baptized in water, the Father speaking from heaven, and the Holy Spirit descending as a
dove. We are to
baptize in the “name (not names) of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19).
6. Even creation implies the doctrine of the Trinity. In creation, we have space, matter and time in one
creation. In space, we have length, breadth and height in one space. In matter, we have energy, motion and
phenomena in one
substance. In time we have past, present and future in one time. In man, we have body, soul and spirit in one
man (1 Thes. 5:23).
7. In the Holy Trinity, we have Father, son and Holy Spirit in one God.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Grace is the love and mercy of God in action. Mercy is negative, and love is positive; both together mean

man (1 Thes. 5:23).
7. In the Holy Trinity, we have Father, son and Holy Spirit in one God.
Jesus Christ - The Son of God
I. The Deity Of Jesus Christ
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
The Deity of Jesus Christ, or His God Nature, is well established in the New Testament. Some of the facts
are:
1. He is called God by the Apostle John (John 1:1)
2. He is called God by the Apostle Thomas (John 20:28).
3. He is called God by God the Father (Heb. 1:8).
4. He claimed to be God in that He was with the Father before creation (John 17:5).
5. He claimed to be God in that He was before Abraham (John 8:51-59).
6. He received worship and only God is to be worshiped (Matt. 14:33).
7. He forgives sin (Mark 2:5-11).
8. He is the creator and maker of all things (Col. 1:16).
9. He is the sustainer of all things (Heb. 1:3).
10. He claimed to have all power in heaven and in earth (Matt. 28:18).
II. The Humanity Of Jesus Christ
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And
declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the
dead: Romans 1:3,4
The humanity of Jesus Christ is seen in His human nature (Matt. 2:11).
1. He hungered (Matt. 4:2). 2. He was thirsty (John 19:28).
3. He was weary (John 4:6). 4. He wept (John 11:35).
5. He was tempted (Heb. 4:15).
Jesus is man, and yet He is more than man. He is not God and man, but the God–man. He is God in human
flesh. His two natures are bound together in such a way that the two become one, having a single
consciousness and will.
III. The Virgin Birth Of Jesus Christ
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God. Luke 1:35
The virgin birth of Jesus Christ is without parallel in human history. It was by the virgin birth that God became
man, one perfect person but two natures: one nature being that of Almighty God, the other being that of man –
man without sin (Heb. 4:15). The union of the two natures became the God–man Christ Jesus.
1. The first hint of the virgin birth is found in (Gen. 3:15).
2. Isaiah prophesied that a “virgin would conceive, and bear a son and shall call His name
Immanuel (God with us)” (Isaiah 7:14).
3. Again Isaiah prophesied saying “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given” (Isaiah 9:6,7).
This means that God gave His only begotten Son who was with Him from eternity, and the Child Jesus was
born of a virgin. God gave His Son “unto us”.
4. He was to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Joseph and Mary went up to Bethlehem to be taxed,
and to fulfill prophecy (Luke 2:1-7).
I. The Deity Of Jesus Christ
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
The Deity of Jesus Christ, or His God Nature, is well established in the New Testament. Some of the facts

5. He claimed to be God in that He was before Abraham (John 8:51-59).
6. He received worship and only God is to be worshiped (Matt. 14:33).
7. He forgives sin (Mark 2:5-11).
8. He is the creator and maker of all things (Col. 1:16).
9. He is the sustainer of all things (Heb. 1:3).
10. He claimed to have all power in heaven and in earth (Matt. 28:18).
II. The Humanity Of Jesus Christ
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And
declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the
dead: Romans 1:3,4
The humanity of Jesus Christ is seen in His human nature (Matt. 2:11).
1. He hungered (Matt. 4:2). 2. He was thirsty (John 19:28).
3. He was weary (John 4:6). 4. He wept (John 11:35).
5. He was tempted (Heb. 4:15).
Jesus is man, and yet He is more than man. He is not God and man, but the God–man. He is God in human
flesh. His two natures are bound together in such a way that the two become one, having a single
consciousness and will.
III. The Virgin Birth Of Jesus Christ
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God. Luke 1:35
The virgin birth of Jesus Christ is without parallel in human history. It was by the virgin birth that God became
man, one perfect person but two natures: one nature being that of Almighty God, the other being that of man –
man without sin (Heb. 4:15). The union of the two natures became the God–man Christ Jesus.

This means that God gave His only begotten Son who was with Him from eternity, and the Child Jesus was
born of a virgin. God gave His Son “unto us”.
4. He was to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Joseph and Mary went up to Bethlehem to be taxed,
and to fulfill prophecy (Luke 2:1-7).
IV. The Death Of Jesus Christ
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death
of the cross. Philippians 2:8
The death of Jesus Christ is mentioned more than one hundred twenty times in the New Testament and is
spoken of many times by the Prophets in the Old Testament.
1. The death of Jesus Christ was sacrificial (Matt. 20:28).
2. The death of Jesus Christ was brutal (John 19 31-37).
3. The death of Jesus Christ paid our sin debt (Rom. 6:23).
4. The death of Jesus Christ was for all (John 3:16).
5. The death of Jesus Christ was supernatural (John 10:17-18).
Jesus said, “No man taketh life from me”. Then He said, “I lay it down to myself”. “I have power to take it up
again”. He took life up again when He arose from the dead.
V. The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ
Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:25-26
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the doctrine of every disciple, the faith of every true believer, the
courage of every martyr, the theme of every sermon and the power of every evangelist.
1. He first appeared to Mary Magdalene (John 20:11-18).
2. He appeared to the women returning from the sepulcher (Matt. 28:5-10).
3. Then He appeared to Peter (Luke 24:34).
4. To the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:13-31).
5. To the apostles, Thomas not present (Luke 24:36-43).
6. Again to the apostles, Thomas present (John 20:24-29).
7. To the seven by the Sea of Tiberias (John 21:1-23).
8. To over five hundred brethren (1 Cor. 15:6).
9. He was seen again by the eleven apostles (Acts 1:3-12).
10. He was seen of Stephen, the first martyr (Acts 7:55).
11. He was seen of Paul on his way to Damascus (1 Cor. 15:8).
Many of these eye witnesses died martyrs’ deaths because they preached the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
They were glad to die for a living Christ. They had the “infallible proofs.”
VI. The Ascension And Second Coming Of Jesus Christ
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
After forty days of instructing His disciples, the risen Christ ascended up on high, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father (Heb. 10:12).
1. He is coming for His church (1 Thes. 4:16,17) (John 14:1-6).
2. He is coming to judge the nations (Matt. 25: 31-46).
3. He is coming to save Israel (Rom. 11:25,26).
4. He is coming to sit upon the throne of David (Luke 1: 31-33) (Isaiah 9:6,7).
5. He is coming to bring righteous government to this earth (Rev. 19:11-16).
Jesus is coming back to this earth again, “Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Rev.
22:20).
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death
of the cross. Philippians 2:8
The death of Jesus Christ is mentioned more than one hundred twenty times in the New Testament and is
spoken of many times by the Prophets in the Old Testament.
1. The death of Jesus Christ was sacrificial (Matt. 20:28).
2. The death of Jesus Christ was brutal (John 19 31-37).
3. The death of Jesus Christ paid our sin debt (Rom. 6:23).
4. The death of Jesus Christ was for all (John 3:16).
5. The death of Jesus Christ was supernatural (John 10:17-18).
Jesus said, “No man taketh life from me”. Then He said, “I lay it down to myself”. “I have power to take it up
again”. He took life up again when He arose from the dead.
V. The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ
Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:25-26
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the doctrine of every disciple, the faith of every true believer, the
courage of every martyr, the theme of every sermon and the power of every evangelist.
1. He first appeared to Mary Magdalene (John 20:11-18).
2. He appeared to the women returning from the sepulcher (Matt. 28:5-10).
3. Then He appeared to Peter (Luke 24:34).
4. To the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:13-31).
5. To the apostles, Thomas not present (Luke 24:36-43).
6. Again to the apostles, Thomas present (John 20:24-29).
7. To the seven by the Sea of Tiberias (John 21:1-23).
8. To over five hundred brethren (1 Cor. 15:6).
9. He was seen again by the eleven apostles (Acts 1:3-12).
10. He was seen of Stephen, the first martyr (Acts 7:55).
11. He was seen of Paul on his way to Damascus (1 Cor. 15:8).
Many of these eye witnesses died martyrs’ deaths because they preached the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
They were glad to die for a living Christ. They had the “infallible proofs.”
VI. The Ascension And Second Coming Of Jesus Christ
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
After forty days of instructing His disciples, the risen Christ ascended up on high, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father (Heb. 10:12).
1. He is coming for His church (1 Thes. 4:16,17) (John 14:1-6).

3. He is coming to save Israel (Rom. 11:25,26).
4. He is coming to sit upon the throne of David (Luke 1: 31-33) (Isaiah 9:6,7).
5. He is coming to bring righteous government to this earth (Rev. 19:11-16).
Jesus is coming back to this earth again, “Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Rev.
22:20).
