The Sufficiency of Scripture

In one of the most densely packed portions of Scripture, Paul sets forth the glorious truth of the sufficiency of Scripture. Expounding Scripture's sufficiency, Paul sets forth its two primary qualities which form the backbone of this doctrine, its divine inspiration and its profitability. After highlighting the qualities of Scripture, Paul sets forth four areas of Scripture's total sufficiency starting first with Scripture as a resource for doctrine and then setting forth its qualities which promote the moral reformation of believers including reproof, correction,and training in righteousness. The final element of Paul's exposition of the sufficiency of Scripture is its moral aim:to make the man of God adequate, that is equipped, for every good work. This message not only expounds these basic aspects of the sufficiency of Scripture, but also includes a series of challenges regarding the application of these principles regarding the sufficiency of Scripture.
