Sufficiency of Scripture
Material Sufficiency
Bibliology · 6 verses
Scripture contains all truths necessary for salvation and godliness, requiring no supplementary revelation or tradition. The Bible materially suffices to make the man of God complete and thoroughly furnished unto every good work. What God has not revealed in Scripture is not necessary for our spiritual welfare and eternal destiny.
