The Bible contains everything we need to know to have and maintain relationships with God. The theological term to describe that is “sufficiency”. Or the sufficiency of Scripture. Based on this belief, if we want to know what God thinks about something, we search the Bible to find out. Not everything that humans could possibly know is in the Bible. My son Chad can’t read the Bible for sports predictions. The Bible doesn’t tell us everything about math or science of history. But everything God wanted us to know about becoming and living as a Christian is in the Bible, and nowhere else. It gives us all the guidance we need to know God and live obediently.
