we must decide if we believe<\/a> its contents or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nPaul says \u2018All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work\u2019<\/em> (2 Tim. 3:16\u201317). That\u2019s quite some claim, and an even bigger ask!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is why it demands an act of faith. We choose to accept that God\u2019s Word is truth for everyone, everywhere, and so we ensure that we follow its teachings in all our thoughts and actions. Good fruit is always the product of faith, for we start with a bare tree and must work the season to ensure there is some tasty produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
