Nuggets from "An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith" by Dave Hunt - The Sufficiency of Scripture

How it strengthens our faith and rejoices our hearts to read the testimonies of the Holy Spirit-inspired writers of Scripture who found the Bible sufficient for their every need. And how sad it is in our day to find Christian leaders teaching that the Bible is deficient for modern man and needs to be supplemented by humanistic myths. For encouragement in the faith, consider again what the writers of the Old and New Testaments had to say about the sufficiency and perfection of God’s Holy Word. It says therein that God has given to us “all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter:1:3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Psalm 1 makes it clear that those who obey, delight in, and meditate upon God’s Word day and night will flourish like trees growing beside a river. Their Holy Spirit-empowered lives will produce fruit for God in abundance and perfection – without any help from the philosophies of men. In Psalm 19 David exults, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart…More to be desired are they than gold…sweeter also than honey…and in keeping of them there is great reward” (versed 7-11). Psalm 119 declares, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word…O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies…I have more understanding than all my teachers…I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts…Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” (verses 9, 97-100, 105). Examples could be multiplied of those who found God’s Word not only sufficient but “the joy and rejoicing of mine heart” (Jeremiah:15:16Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
