While the Bible is an important and authoritative guide for Christian faith and practice, it isn't the foundation or center of our faith- Jesus is. The problem is that a faith that is rooted in the Scripture alone is not sustainable. We fear that following the Spirit could lead to confusion and subjectivity and so we root our faith in the Bible. However, for many Evangelicals, we rely more on the Bible than we do on the living and active Spirit of God within us. The more we commune with the Spirit of Christ, the more life and truth we are exposed to and are able to comprehend. He interacts with us on a day to day basis and desires that we cultivate an intimate relationship with him. The Christian life is one that is fundamentally rooted in the reality that Jesus Christ is living and active.
