It emphasizes that the scriptures are authoritative and truthful in spiritual matters and convey God’s message to humanity accurately. While the statement acknowledges the use of different literary forms and cultural contexts in the Bible, it asserts that its core teachings on faith and practice are reliable and dependable, affirming that God’s truth is faithfully presented through the text.
