The Testimony of Eyewitnesses

This sermon deals with Biblical authority and reliability. In the context of the Transfiguration we read about Moses and Elijah appearing with Jesus on the Mount. They along to the voice of the Father witness to Jesus being the Son of God. Peter later speaks of what he witnessed in his first Epistle. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. Belief in God and His Word is the work of the Holy Spirit. We can also say that the reliability of the Bible stands on good history, with manuscripts and the testimony of witnesses.
