God, the Holy Spirit, is the ultimate Author of Scripture. He is also the only adequate interpreter of Scripture. No human has full authority to interpret Scripture for another. Each person can rely on the Holy Spirit to guide into truth. That which we gain from the Spirit we should proclaim fervently and live out completely. We cannot force that belief on another, however, for as human interpreters under the Spirit, we remain open to misunderstanding. The Spirit seeks to bring glory to Jesus, so that all true interpretation of Scripture will glorify the Christ. Christ remains the ultimate revelation of God.
NIV Psalm 46:1, 4-11
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her; she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
Come and see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. "Be Still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
NIV Psalm 49:1-6, 10, 12-13
Hear this, all you peoples; listen all who live in this world, both low and high, rich and poor alike; My mouth will speak wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding. I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp, I will expound my riddle: Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me; those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?
For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others.
But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and their followers, who approave their sayings. Selah
