The Bible is hugely important to us as West Church and the Holy Spirit has everything to do with why. The Spirit gave us the Bible. When the authors of the books of the Bible put pen to paper, the final product was exactly what the Spirit intended it to be. The Bible is the book of the Holy Spirit. No other book is from God, given by his authority. The Bible is the book of the church because it's the book of the Spirit. The Spirit uses the Bible. The primary way that Christians hear the voice of God is through the Bible. It is the main tool that the Spirit uses to change our lives. The Spirit speaks to us through the Bible. The Spirit also gives us the key to understanding the Bible, the gospel of Jesus. When we come to God, by faith, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we now have the key to understanding what the message of the Bible is ultimately about. The Holy Spirit and the Bible is a big deal.
