Invariably in the New Testament denotes that definite collection of sacred books, regarded as given by inspiration of God, which we usually call the Old Testament (2Ti 3:15,16; Jhn 20:9; Gal 3:22; 2Pe 1:20). It was God's purpose thus to perpetuate his revealed will. From time to time he raised up men to commit to writing in an infallible record the revelation he gave. The "Scripture," or collection of sacred writings, was thus enlarged from time to time as God saw necessary. We have now a completed "Scripture," consisting of the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament canon in the time of our Lord was precisely the same as that which we now possess under that name. He placed the seal of his own authority on this collection of writings, as all equally given by inspiration (Mat 5:17; 7:12; 22:40; Luk 16:29,31). (See BIBLE; CANON.)

Bible Studies, Word Searches & Great Study Tools
Do you love reading and studying the scriptures? Many many years ago I found myself using the King James Bible and The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to do all my Bible studies. Very time consuming. Then the day came when I got my first computer and a friend shared blueletterbible.com with me. Wow! Did my studies take on a whole new form, not to mention that they became much easier and expanded. If you haven't seen blueletterbible.com give it a try. You'll love it.
