The inspired writers of the New Testament presented a wonderfully consistent attitude toward the truth of God’s Word.
To the Ephesian brethren Paul wrote, “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:17.) He commended the early spiritual training of Timothy, his own son, in the faith, by urging, “But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from who you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 3:14.15.)
Peter’s words line up well with Paul’s. Peter allowed little sympathy for those “untaught and unstable people” who were twisting the inspired Scriptures “to their own destruction.” (2 Peter 3:16.)
Inspired New Testament writers did not pen their letters as discussions of this interpretation compared with that interpretation. They wrote and wrote about scriptural truth which could be learned, understood and agreed upon.
The same truth is ours today and available to all of us in the Holy Scriptures.
