Heaven is for real AND the Bible is sufficient
"We believe in the authority and sufficiency of the Word of God." from Emmanuel Baptist's doctrinal statement
What does sufficiency mean? The Scriptures contain everything we need for knowledge of salvation and godly living. We don’t need any new revelation from heaven or about heaven. With the release of the movie "Heaven is for Real" we need to remember this important truth.
Below is a quote and a 5 minute video showing the importance of Biblical sufficiency in light of recent books and movies. But before looking at these resources, think about these two verses: Proverbs 30:4 and John 3:13.
“We can say all the right things about the Bible, and even read it regularly, but when life gets difficult, or just a bit boring, we look for new words, new revelations and new experiences to bring us closer to God. We feel rather ho-hum about the New Testament’s description of heaven but we are mesmerized by the accounts of school-age children who claim to have gone there and back.” Taking God At His Word, by Kevin DeYoung, p. 46
As one of the pastors at Emmanuel Baptist Church, I want to challenge each of us to remember that the Bible is our ultimate authority and is sufficient.
