In this session of Secret Church 17, Pastor David Platt explains what Christians mean when we claim that the Bible is true. In order to clarify some important aspects of Scripture’s truthfulness, Articles I–XIX of the document titled “The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy” are used throughout this session.

The following three questions are a sample of the kinds of issues covered: (1) “Does Scripture contain errors?” (2) “Is every word of the Bible inspired by God, or does inspiration only relate to the ideas and concepts revealed in Scripture?” (3) “Is it accurate to refer to our current Bible translations as the Word of God?” Such questions must be addressed in each generation as the authority of Scripture is constantly under attack. If we believe that God is true, then we must affirm that his Word is true.
