This session has strengthened my confidence in the authority, reliability, and preservation of God’s Word. I have learned that the Bible did not come together by chance, but through God’s faithful guidance and the careful work of those He used to preserve it. Understanding the history of the canon and the transmission of Scripture has removed many questions I once had and has deepened my appreciation for the Bible. As a result, I now read God’s Word with greater confidence, study it more carefully, and feel even more committed to teaching and preaching it faithfully as I continue to grow in my calling and walk with Christ.
