The Holy Bible: Set Apart, Sanctified, and Transforming

This sermon, part of a series on the Bible itself, explores what it means to call Scripture the "Holy Bible." Brother Mike examines the word "holy" as meaning set apart and sanctified, arguing that Scripture is uniquely connected to God Himself. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16, the sermon establishes that the Bible is God-breathed, distinguishing it from all other literature. The message moves through four attributes of Scripture's holiness -- the person of God revealed within it, the power of God behind it, the prophecies that confirm its divine origin, and the permanence of God's Word across all generations. The sermon then turns to the concept of holy truth and how Scripture shapes a biblical worldview, before concluding with a call to personal transformation through acceptance of, appetite for, abidance to, and application of God's Word. The underlying conviction is that God's Word is holy so that His people may become holy as well.
