The Bible The entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is God’s Holy Word.[1] It is the only divinely inspired, [2] infallible,[3] and inerrant[4] revelation of God to man.[5] The Bible was written by God through prophets and apostles,[6] revealing divine truth[7] that is clear,[8] fully sufficient,[9] and our only authority for faith[10] and practice.[11]
