The Authority of the Bible

2 Timothy 3:16-17 
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Peter 1:20-21 
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 4:2 
Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.

Psalm 19:7-11 
The law of the LORD is perfect, 
     reviving the soul. 
     The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, 
     making wise the simple. 
The precepts of the LORD are right, 
     giving joy to the heart. 
     The commands of the LORD are radiant, 
     giving light to the eyes. 
The fear of the LORD is pure, 
     enduring forever. 
     The ordinances of the LORD are sure 
     and altogether righteous. 
They are more precious than gold, 
     than much pure gold; 
     they are sweeter than honey, 
     than honey from the comb. 
By them is your servant warned; 
     in keeping them there is great reward.

Hebrews 1:1-2 
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

James 1:21-25 
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

2 Timothy 2:15 
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Matthew 7:24-27 
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." 

John 12:47-50 
"As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

Revelation 22:18-19 
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
