What are the claims of Scripture?
1) The Bible claims to be the very words of God
2) The Bible claims to be the standard for Truth
3) The Bible claims to be “living and active.” It says it is still authoritative and interactive in a way that no other book could be.

EFCA statement of Faith
“We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.”
