Episode 1.1: The Necessity of Scripture

How does God communicate with us? What does creation teach me about God? Is the Bible necessary? What’s the benefit of having the written Word? Those are questions we discuss on this week’s episode of The Jerusalem Chamber. Tune in as Shawn, Joel, Nathan, and Kyle discuss the first paragraph of the Westminster Confession of Faith:

Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of His will, which is necessary unto salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal Himself, and to declare that His will unto His Church; and afterwards for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; which makes the Holy Scripture to be most necessary; those former ways of God’s revealing His will unto His people being now ceased.
