The Bible is The Word of God

Few people want to talk about it and even fewer understand it. 

Yet, all of life boils down to authority: whose authority will we live under? A spirit of rebellion characterizes the unregenerate world. Even many believers miss the truth that they live life under divine authority. Because modern Christianity is defined by emotion, experiences, and extra-biblical teaching, it displays evidence that many have forgotten the principle of biblical authority. 

Our authority is not human ideas, but divine revelation. The foundation of faith is the Word of God. Without it, we have nothing to stand upon and nothing to share; but in the Word, we have all that we need! The Lord Jesus, interceding for His disciples, prayed, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). God’s Word is true and God’s truth is powerful.

Enjoying the Journey exists to evangelize the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ, encourage pastors and local churches, and equip believers to walk with God and serve Him each day. However, there is no way to accomplish this mission apart from the transforming power of God’s Word. The Spirit of God works through the Word.

We unequivocally believe that the Bible is the very Word of God and that every word of the Word is divinely inspired. The Scriptures are the inerrant, infallible, completed, written revelation of God to man and, therefore, the all-sufficient, final authority for what we believe and how we are to live (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21). Truth is not new and it is not old – it is eternal.

Evangelist R.A. Torrey gave his life to reach the world with the gospel and teach the Word of God. Because of this, he wrote, Ten Reasons Why I Believe the Bible is the Word of God. This book articulates what we believe about the sufficiency of Scripture. As you read these pages, may God both deepen your conviction in the Word and your commitment to study it and share it with others.


Ten Reasons Why I Believe the Bible is the Word of God is a classic work by Dr. R.A. Torrey. Additionally, this adaptation is available free of charge. One can find our short biography of Torrey at the conclusion, as well as suggestions for further reading. We trust this resource will help you. Use it and pass it along to others.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege
