The final authority
Body
We have looked at the sufficiency and clarity of the Bible that make up the first two letters of the acronym SCAN (sufficiency, clarity, authority, necessity) that tell us four important realities of the Bible. Now we look to the authority of the Bible. What we mean is that the Bible declares itself to be God’s Final Word. When we read of the Apostle Paul’s evangelism in Thessalonica and Berea in Acts 17, they give us a clear picture of the authority of God’s Word at work.
