Truth shall set you free

The common idea is that unqualified confidence in the Bible leads to narrow-minded inhibitions and crippling restraints on what you may think and do. The truth is that such confidence produces liberated living--living, that is, which is free from uncertaintly, doubt, and despair--which otherwise is not found anywhere. The one who trusts the Bible knows what God did, does, and will do, what God commands and what God promises. With the Colossians, the Bible-believer understands "God's grace in all its truth" (Col. 1:6), for the Christ of Scripture has become his Savior, master, and friend. --J.I. Packer, Knowing Christianity
