The Scriptures and God
By A.W. Pink0PSA 36:9JHN 3:3JHN 17:3ACT 17:231CO 1:211CO 2:142CO 4:62TI 3:162PE 1:211JN 5:20A.W. Pink emphasizes the supernatural nature of the Scriptures as a divine revelation, asserting that they are not merely inspired but verbally dictated by God. He warns against human theories that undermine their authority and highlights the necessity of a supernatural revelation to truly know God, which cannot be achieved through mere intellectual study. Pink argues that a genuine knowledge of God leads to a transformed life, characterized by a deeper reverence for His commandments, a firmer trust in His sufficiency, and a more fervent praise for His goodness. He stresses that true conversion involves recognizing God's claims and submitting to His will, resulting in a supernatural experience that is evident in the believer's life. Ultimately, Pink calls for a return to a biblical understanding of God, contrasting it with the paganized views prevalent in modern Christianity.
