JESUS CHRIST'S BIBLICAL WORLD VIEW

(This article was written by Missionary John Henry and published in The Flaming Torch in 2004)

The Lord Jesus Christ taught that every word of Scripture proceeded from God (Matt. 4:4).
The Lord never corrected or criticized Scripture, even though He did not have the original autographs (John 17:17).
Jesus pre-authenticated the New Testament writings as Scripture (John 14:26; 16:12-13).
Christ Jesus accepted the Old Testament Jewish canon, but rejected the Apocrypha (Luke 24:44).
He taught the doctrine of the preservation of Scripture (Matt. 5:17-18; 24:35; Luke 6:17).
He taught that the Old Testament Scriptures pointed to Him (Luke 24:27,44).
He taught that man will be judged by God's Word (John 12:47-48).
He taught the absolute authority of Scripture (John 10:34-36).
He believed in the Genesis account of creation (Matt. 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-8).
He believed the Flood of Noah was universal (Matt. 24:37-39).
He believed Abraham was a historical figure (John 8:56).
He believed Sodom and Gomorrah were literal places (Matt. 10:15; 11:23-24).
He believed Lot's wife was actually turned into a pillar of salt (Luke 17:32).
He believed God gave the Israelites manna from heaven (John 6:31,49,58).
He believed Jonah and the whale were historical (Matt. 12:39-41).
He believed Moses was the author of the first five books of the Bible (Matt. 8:4; John 5:46; 7:19).
He believed in David's authorship of the Psalms (Matt. 22:43).
He believed Daniel was the author of the book of Daniel (Matt. 24:15).
He believed in the unity of the book of Isaiah (Matt. 13:14-15; Mark 7:6; John 12:38-41).
He believed the Jews had a history of rejecting God's Word (Luke 11:47-51).
The Lord Jesus scolded the Sadducees for their ignorance of Scripture (Matt. 22:29).

Those who claim to be followers of the Lord Jesus Christ ought to hold the same high view of Scripture that He held. Believing Christians hold no other view?
