All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (RSV)
Scripture is 'God-breathed. God formed the universe with a word. When God made Adam out of the dust of the earth, He breathed into him the breath of life. This life-giving Word became flesh, alive among us, full of grace and truth.
Scripture is more than ink on paper. It does more than relate events long past. Scripture is the living witness of all that God has done. It reminds us of what God is now doing. It promises what God will do as the ages unfold.
The Church lives in the Scriptures. It is not a relic of some bygone era. It is the very breath in all we do and are. God's love is spoken to us through its pages. The Holy Spirit is at work as we read and hear it, creating faith for salvation.
Scripture is our witness. It forms our proclamation of our Risen Lord as we fulfill our Lord's command to bring the Good News to all the world.
