三、上帝的圣言

3问：上帝的圣言是什么？

答：上帝的圣言就是新旧约圣经（提后3:16；彼后1:19－21），是人信道行道的惟一准则（弗2:20；启22:18，19；赛8:20；路16:29，31；加1:8-9；提后3:15，16）。

Question 3: What is the Word of God?

Answer: The holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience.

4问：何以见得圣经就是上帝的圣言？

答：圣经，藉其本身庄严的权威性（何8:12；林前2:6-7，13；诗119:18，129）与和纯正性（诗12:6；诗119:140）；藉其各部全指向上帝之荣耀的一致性（徒10:43；26:22）和整全性（罗3:19，27）；藉其使罪人得以知罪醒转，使信者得以蒙安慰、被建立，以致得救（徒18:28；来4:12；雅1:18；诗19:7－9；罗15:4；徒20:32）的亮光和能力，自显自证为上帝的圣言。但唯独上帝的圣灵能藉着、能运用圣经在人心里做见证，使人确信圣经正是上帝的圣言（约16:13-14；约壹2:20，27；约20:31）。

Question 4: How does it appear that the Scriptures are the Word of God?

Answer: The Scriptures manifest themselves to be the Word of God, by their majesty and purity; by the consent of all the parts, and the scope of the whole, which is to give all glory to God; by their light and power to convince and convert sinners, to comfort and build up believers unto salvation: but the Spirit of God bearing witness by and with the Scriptures in the heart of man, is alone able fully to persuade it that they are the very Word of God.

二、上帝的存在

2问：如何晓得有上帝呢？

答：人心中与生俱来的属灵之光，以及大自然所示上帝的作为，都清楚昭告上帝存在的事实（罗1:19-20；诗19:1-3；徒17:28）；但惟独上帝的圣言和圣灵能充分有效地将上帝自己启示出来，使人得救（林前2:9-10；提后3:15-17；赛59:21）。

Question 2: How does it appear that there is a God?

Answer: The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God; but his Word and Spirit only do sufficiently and effectually reveal him unto men for their salvation.
