We learn from history what happens when the Scriptures are not the final authority on matters of life and godliness and what happens when people start “speaking on behalf of God.” It gets more than ugly, messy, and even deadly—really fast. Before the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the Scriptures, that is, the Bible, and, for that matter, all biblical truth, were effectively controlled by the institutional church. Eventually, the Protestant Reformation brought to the surface the fundamental issue that allowed for this kind of institutional control... moreover, the Reformation would change how you and I now relate, value, even read, and study the Scriptures today—That fundamental issue is one that we need to look at again, it is the question involving the authority of Scripture. In the 16th century, there were two basic positions regarding Scriptural authority: the established position, which was held by the institutional church, said that Scripture, along with the magisterium (the official teaching authority and office of the Roman Catholic Church) and formal traditions collectively are the final, infallible authority for matters of life, faith, and practice; The Reformers, who held a powerfully opposing position, believed simply that that the Scriptures and nothing else, are the infallible final authority on matters of life, faith, and practice. This issue would serve as a clarion call for the church to, rethink and reform its positions, in light of Scripture alone. Can you imagine living without having access to the Bible? I can't, in fact, the Bible has been part of my life as long as I can remember. But, this reality is exactly what the world at this time faced. Thankfully, God in His providence raised up a group of people who would ultimately challenge the institutional church's control over Scripture and, because of their sacrifice, eventually usher in an era that would see a resurgence of Biblical truth, and a deeper love and appreciation for the Word of God. Sola Scriptura—This Latin phrase, which didn’t appear until the 20th century, came to define the core idea held by all the reformers—Scripture Alone—the final and infallible authority on matters of life and godliness. While few in our Christian communities challenge this theses now, it is important for us to do more than just agree with it; in fact, we need to realize that we have a natural tendency to allow ourselves to be influenced, even controlled by other people and their extra-biblical origins, just like residents of the middle ages. Today, we will dig more into this history, our tendency to lean away from scripture and we'll explore the meaning of what Peter means in 2 Peter 1:3— when he says, “We have everything necessary for life and godliness through a knowledge of Him.”
