The Fight for Sola Scriptura | Sermon 10/03/2021

"Genesis demonstrates that from the very beginning of God’s interaction with His creation, He spoke. In fact, it was His very Word that went out to initiate the creation of all things.

God’s Word is so powerful it can create matter ex nihilo (out of nothing), it can create man in His own image; something that sets man apart from the rest of creation. His Word is personal as He speaks intimately with Adam and Eve and as He walks among them; these things demonstrate God’s personalness.

God’s Word is also authoritative because of His nature which obligates obedience and attention. In Genesis 3 we see God’s Word being questioned and disregarded for the very first time.

This is where the fight for the doctrine of Sola Scriptura would begin. But the promise of a Messiah, the living Word made flesh, was made. This Logos would set things right by destroying the works of the great serpent and reconciling man back to God."
