**“The Scriptures Alone”**

**By Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones**

**“We are entirely dependent upon the Scriptures. We have no saving truth apart from what we find in the Bible. Nothing can ever be added to Scripture. There can be no further revelation because revelation only comes through apostles and prophets, and there are no apostles now, and cannot be by definition. So we are entirely confined to the Scriptures, and we can add nothing to them. Neither must we take anything from them. We are in no position to pick and choose from them. We cannot say, I believe this and reject that, I rather like the teaching of Jesus, but I do not believe in miracles.**

**The moment you begin to do that you are denying revelation. You are saying that your unaided human intellect is capable of judging revelation, and sifting it and finding what is true and what is false. That is to deny the whole principle of revelation, of the apostolate, and of this unique work of the Holy Spirit. We are shut in to the Bible and its teaching. I know nothing apart from that. I cannot add to it, I cannot subtract from it; I take it as given to us with the authority of the apostles.”**
