The Bible's Credibility Remains, Regardless

A great quote from God Under Fire contains a terrific insight about Scripture and people's reaction to it:

"Scripture never is credible or authoritative for anyone until God's Spirit has worked in that person's heart (1 Cor. 2-16; Eph. 2:1-10). The Scriptures are indeed objectively sufficient to give each of us a proper knowledge of who God actually is, but their objective sufficiency is undercut by our sin. The fact that theological Constructivists do not find the language of Scripture credible or authoritative does not tell us anything about its actual credibility or authoritativeness; instead, it tells us something about them. Thus, we should feel free, with Christians of other ages, to turn to the Scriptures to understand who God is."
