#2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 22:16; Hebrews 4:12#
Ashwin argues that the Bible is trustworthy and reliable, emphasizing that its teachings form the foundation of Christian beliefs. He highlights the Bible's self-attestation as God-breathed, inspired, and useful for teaching, correction, and equipping believers. Ashwin points to the consistency of the Bible's message despite its diverse authorship spanning 1500 years, its accurate preservation supported by thousands of ancient manuscripts (notably the Dead Sea Scrolls), and the fulfillment of prophecies, such as those concerning Jesus' crucifixion in Psalm 22. He concludes by stressing the transformative power of the Bible to expose and redirect lives, referencing Nabeel Qureshi's experience finding comfort and guidance in the Bible as a testament to its personal and living nature. Ashwin challenges listeners to study the Bible regularly for personal guidance, offering a two-week reading plan focused on the life and ministry of Jesus.
