Sola Scriptura: By scripture alone
True to our reformist roots, we believe the Bible to be the highest authority to which we measure all our teaching.
Furthermore, we believe that the entire Bible has been given to us as an instrument that guides us on our way as we come to know the Living God. Paul explains this to Timothy in 2Tim 3:16, when writing: “All of scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”.
The Bible is an intricate text, beautifully interwoven with various literary styles. When studying scripture, all these styles need to be kept in mind and respected. We read the Bible typologically, which means that everything that is concealed within the old testament is revealed within the new testament.
Only when reading the Bible correctly, does it truly become the divinely integrated key that unlocks itself.
