God's Awesome Book

God in revealing Himself inspired the Holy Scriptures so that they are entirely trustworthy and have supreme authority in matters of doctrine, faith and conduct.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

The Bible is awesome because it is both divine and human. All Scripture is entirely trustworthy because God is trustworthy. ‘Trustworthiness’ emphasizes that biblical truth is not an abstract notion but a reality to be trusted in because God is truth. .

The inspiration of Scripture(ie the Bible) implies that the origin of Scripture is to be found in God. Because Scripture is God-breathed it has divine authority. When declared in the power of the Holy Spirit the Bible produces faith in Christ and the fruit of the Spirit in godly lives where the Word is received and obeyed.
TSCF has a facebook community of students all over NZ who are reading the psalms together (2010), New Testament in 27 days (2011) called Word Up: http://www.facebook.com/groups/wordup.nz

The authority of Scripture applies to the whole of created reality including arts, science, and politics. However Scripture does not set out to teach science, for example, yet it teaches how science or any human skill should be learned and applied (‘faith and conduct’) for the good of humanity and to the glory of God. All over the IFES world, students in groups like yours, try to live out their faith in harmony with the Bible.
