If we would use one sentence to describe Christianity, it could very well be, A Faith of the Book. First, let consider the literate importance of the scriptures to man as recorded in the Bible. We have heard the use of the word Canon of the Scripture. This simply means in its classic sense, That which keeps a thing straight. Again a very good sense of the word would say that Canon of the Scripture applies to anything, which serves to regulate or determine, a guide or a model. In several New Testament passages, we read instructions to the canon. As many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them.(Galatians 6:16). Let us walk by the same rule.(Philippians 3:16). According to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us(II Corinthians 10: 13). When we apply these terms to the Bible, it means that the sacred writing, scriptures, and the Bible itself is accepted by the New Testament as containing the authoritative rule of Faith, Order, principles and practices for us.
Therefore, by the canon of the bible, we declare the thirty-nine (39) books of the Old Testament and the twenty-seven (27) of the New Testament of New Testament were given as the bible says Divinely inspired of God.
