The Reformation axiom, "Scripture interprets scripture" speaks to the idea that when interpreting the Bible, we allow God to speak for Himself by using His own words. This is a faithful approach that enables the Christian to rightly handle the Word of Truth. If Scripture does not interpret scripture, then something else will: for example, personal desire, a political ideology or ignorance. This is an unfaithful approach that emboldens the wicked to pervert the Word of the Truth.

How then can a Bible student be faithful and discern what God is trying to say in His Word? By sticking close to three basic principles of Bible interpretation. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will discuss all three.
