— Learn to love studying the Bible. The Bible makes you wise. All Scripture is important, is useful, and sufficient for our understanding of God and obeying His commands.
— God used to speak through prophets/visions/angels, but now He has completed all that He wants to say. He spoke to us through Jesus and through His apostles, and once they were gone and had said what God wanted them to say, the canon of Scripture was closed. We don’t need anything else but what God wanted us to have.
— We can’t make up what Scripture says or twist it to say what we want it to say. Rather, we have to treat the Bible like all of the people in the Bible did—the Words of God spoken through men. We have to be careful with them and not try to interpret them through our own opinions, but rather take them for what they would have been saying to those people in that place.
— We as humans can mess up, we can lie, we can be wrong. We can’t trust ourselves. We can trust God and His word because He was the one who wrote it, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
— God uses the Word to accomplish what He wants—saving people, etc. It is God’s primary tool for conviction, repentance, salvation, and training in righteousness.
