What does it mean to be Evangelical?

1. Scripture - from its  basic roots, Evangelical Christians have a high view of scripture. On the most basic level this means that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and that its teachings are to be learned and obeyed.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

• The scripture is the guiding line that we use to realign what is crooked.

1 Timothy 4:13 

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

• The scripture is meant to be read not only privately but within the corporate body.
  
  

All of Psalm 119 - Lamp unto my feet, Wiser that my teachers, Hidden your word 

• The importance of the Law of God as a guiding principle for our lives and development. The scriptures show us how to please God, how to heal from sin, and how to live within the world.

Romans 15:4 

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

• The scriptures are intended to teach us and to point us to the hope of God in the world.

John 5:39-40 

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 

• The scriptures are a separate witness that will tell us both who Christ is.

2 Peter 1:20-21 

Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

• Scripture is caused by God, God has inspired the scripture, and the truth of the scripture in understanding them comes from a life of obedience and listening to what God is speaking through the scriptures.
