2 Peter 1:16-21 New Life Version (NLV)
How do you view Scripture? Is it a historical document, a theological story, a good book of virtues, or is it the inspired Word and revelation of God to humanity about Himself and His will? Your perception will likely determine the measure of authority the Bible is given over your life.
Scripture is filled with times of human interaction with God. In our passage, today, Peter shares the importance of Scripture. Remember, he had the privilege of witnessing the glorification of Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration. Nothing would ever be able to rob him of knowing the truth of that encounter with God or sharing it with others; Peter knows Christ is the enteral Son of God. It is a documented story in the Bible. Peter tells us to trust the Scriptures.
