The Word of God came not by the will of man but rather is addressed to all with authority from God. It is the only book in the world whose prophecies are unfailingly true, because man cannot tell the future. It is also the only book that the natural man cannot understand. It is not written so as to work on the emotions and does not record the physical characteristics of Christ or the Apostles, but rather gives us their moral features. There is nothing in Scripture contrary to reason — yet it does contain what is beyond reason, and must necessarily do so, because it comes from God. It brings together the answer to the truth of light and love, and nothing is needed outside the Word to receive life or to walk in godliness.
