We believe, teach, and confess that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit and that God is therefore the true Author of every word of Scripture.

That is how we confess the doctrine of the Inspiration of Scripture as conservative Lutherans. We have a very high view of Holy Scripture; the Bible may use human language, but what is written is God’s very own words. We even call the Bible “the Word of God.”

Scripture is the authority in our Christian faith and life. And in these Scriptures, the MOST IMPORTANT teaching — both the Old Testament and the New Testament — is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen!
