About this ebook

What do we mean when we talk about the sufficiency of Scripture? Jonathan Master explains this idea and why it is vital for the Church today. The bottom line: “We all need to be constantly reminded that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness in His Word.” Join Jeffery Stivason, Jeffrey Waddington, Michael Matossian, David Smith, and Martin Blocki as they unfold the ways that Scripture informs and transforms our lives. May we never forget that our God provides for our every need.
